Summer Foot care Tips: The entire body is susceptible to several health problems in the summer. This leads to a lot of issues with your foot as well. This is due to the fact that as the temperature rises, more individuals spend time in the sun, exposing large portions of their bodies. Here are the top five summertime foot issues that everyone should be aware of:
Foot blisters
One of the most typical foot issues you could have in the summer are foot blisters. This may occur as a result of increased sweating at this time. Poorly fitting shoes can also cause blisters on your feet because they rub against your skin while you walk. Blisters can also appear throughout the warmer months if you keep your feet damp or wear shoes without socks. To prevent blisters, make sure your shoes have a comfortable and proper fit. Choose shoes with great arch support and cushioning to ease the strain on your feet while jogging or strolling. To prevent friction and keep your feet dry, put on moisture-wicking socks. If you have a blister, be cautious not to pop it. Instead, cover it with a bandage or blister pad to protect it and promote recovery.
Sunburn Feet
Most people are aware of how critical it is to protect their skin from the sun, but many people forget to do the same for their feet. Your feet might get terrible sunburn since they are constantly in contact with the ground and your shoes. When putting on shoes or boots, apply sunscreen to your feet to prevent sunburn. Wear shoes with covered soles instead of sandals or flip-flops that expose your feet to the heat. To soothe the skin and avoid swelling, apply aloe vera or moisturising cream to the burnt region.
Athlete Foot
This particular sort of fungal infection affects plenty of people in the summer. Because to the fungi that causes it flourishing in warm, damp places, like public showers, swimming pools, or locker rooms, this mostly occurs during the summer months. If this illness is not addressed, it may result in painful skin cracks and blisters that can infect. You must keep your feet dry and clean if you want to avoid developing an athlete’s foot. Make careful to wash and dry your feet frequently. Choose shoes made of breathable materials like cotton or leather to give your feet room to breathe.
