It’s time to show your feet you care

SUMMER is when feet have their moment in the sun. They’re a part of the body that really get put through their paces – literally - so treat your trotters to some regular TLC...

FOOTCARE BASICS: Regular footcare can help keep this vital part of the body healthy in the long-term, potentially preventing complications like painful calluses and even ulcers, a particular concern for people with diabetes.

“If you don’t keep it in check, hard skin can build up on the parts of your feet where there’s a lot of pressure, such as where shoes or socks rub,” says Joanne Carey, pharmacist and skin health specialist.
