🦶 A small blister or cut on the foot can go unnoticed for days when diabetes dulls sensation — and that's often how a serious ulcer quietly begins. The good news: a few minutes of checking each day is one of the simplest, most powerful ways to stay ahead of it.
Here's a simple daily foot-check routine:
🔎 Look at your feet every day — tops, soles, and between the toes. Use a mirror or ask someone to help with the spots you can't see.
🌡️ Watch for redness, blisters, cuts, swelling, or any area that feels warmer than the rest.
🧼 Wash with lukewarm (never hot) water, dry gently — especially between the toes — and moisturize dry skin, but not between the toes.
👟 Never go barefoot. Wear well-fitting shoes and seamless socks, and shake out your shoes before putting them on.
✂️ Trim toenails straight across, and leave corns or calluses to a professional — don't cut them yourself.
If you're helping a loved one with limited mobility or eyesight, your two-minute check each day makes a real difference — you don't have to figure this out alone. 💙
📍 When to call a doctor right away: a wound that isn't healing, spreading redness, swelling or warmth, drainage or a bad odor, fever, or any patch of black tissue. These need prompt medical care.
If a foot wound is healing slowly, Vitynex™ with Oxygen Boost Technology™ can help support your skin's natural repair — alongside the care plan your clinician recommends.
