Dr. Biernacki’s complete guide to foot care between podiatry visits — daily routines, stretching protocols, shoe inspection, and warning signs that require immediate attention.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should I care for my feet between podiatry visits?
Daily routine: (1) Inspect feet morning and evening — especially between toes and on the soles. (2) Wash in lukewarm water, dry thoroughly between toes. (3) Moisturize dry areas — avoid between toes. (4) Perform prescribed stretches. (5) Check shoes for wear patterns and foreign objects. (6) Wear supportive footwear — never go barefoot on hard surfaces.
What foot problems can I safely treat at home?
Safe home care: mild callus reduction with pumice stone after bathing (healthy patients only), trimming nails straight across at the white tip, applying OTC antifungal cream to athlete’s foot, icing after activity for minor soreness. Never: cut corns, use medicated pads on broken skin, self-treat ingrown nails, or apply anything to open wounds.
What foot symptoms should prompt a podiatry visit?
See us promptly for: any wound or blister that hasn’t healed in 2 weeks, new or worsening pain, swelling in one foot that’s different from the other, nail changes (thickening, discoloration, separation), skin changes (redness, darkening, rash), numbness or tingling that’s new or worsening, and any foot concern in diabetic or immunocompromised patients.
