Here, podiatrists and chiropodists share their top tips to pamper your dry, cracked feet so that you can get them looking and feeling summer ready
Are you embarrassed by the state of your tootsies? Now’s the time to take action. One in three of us hate our feet so much we cover them up, even on the hottest of days, to hide dry skin, discoloured nails and cracked heels. More disturbingly, one in five would even consider surgery to make their tootsies look more appealing. But sort any issues now and you’ll dare to bare before the summer’s over.
2. Fungal nail infections The infection usually starts along the outside rim of the nail, which turns whitish yellow, brown or green. If left untreated it can spread into or under the nail plate, causing it to thicken and separate from the nail bed.“Fungi are usually found in warm, humid places, such as bathrooms, changing rooms and public showers,” says chiropractor Dr Neil Murphy. Infections can be made worse by wearing nail polish, which seals in moisture, allowing the fungus to grow.
“If your bunions are very painful you can have a steroid injection,” says Mougnir. But surgery is the only way to be rid of them.“Badly fitting shoes prevent nails growing out easily; instead they catch the skin and grow inwards,” says Michael. Poor nail trimming, such as leaving sharp edges, can cause them too.“Cut each nail straight across,” says Michael. “Leave a few millimetres of the white part, then file any sharp edges.
