“National Foot Health Awareness Month is observed in April to raise critical awareness regarding our foot health. Understanding the value of healthy feet is essential. Below, our experts share important tips, tricks and fascinating facts on one of the most important parts of our body–our feet!

Step Into April On A Good Foot With These Tips and Tricks 

• Inspect your feet regularly and pay attention to changes in color, texture or appearance.
• Maintain good foot hygiene, including washing and drying between the toes.
• Hydrate the skin. Southern California weather and open shoes can cause rapid loss of moisture from the skin and may result in cracking or the formation of fissures. It is helpful to replace the moisture content by using lotions or creams on a regular basis.
• Don’t ignore foot pain. Symptoms that increase or do not resolve within a reasonable period of time need to be evaluated by your podiatric physician.”
