Lotion Before Bed

Tuesday, 25 October 2022 00:00

Sometimes, an individual’s feet may become itchy during the middle of the night. This may be caused by a case of dry skin or some other medical condition. Since itching sensations during bedtime can be particularly troublesome and disruptive to sleep, there are certain things you might consider doing to prevent this from happening. Most importantly, an individual might consider applying an everyday foot moisturizer to the feet before bed at night. Lotions that contain menthol might be particularly helpful because of the cooling sensation that it produces. If the skin on the feet feels especially dry, an individual might even opt for a more significant, heavy-duty cream for the feet. If you feel itchy at night, contact a podiatrist today for more tips about foot lotion. 

Everyday foot care is very important to prevent infection and other foot ailments. If you need your feet checked, contact one of our podiatrists from Cascade Foot & Ankle. Our doctors can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.

Everyday Foot Care

Often, people take care of their bodies, face and hair more so than they do for their feet. But the feet are a very important aspect of our bodies, and one that we should pay more attention to. Without our feet, we would not be able to perform most daily tasks.

It is best to check your feet regularly to make sure there are no new bruises or cuts that you may not have noticed before. For dry feet, moisturizer can easily be a remedy and can be applied as often as necessary to the affected areas. Wearing shoes that fit well can also help you maintain good foot health, as well as making it easier to walk and do daily activities without the stress or pain of ill-fitting shoes, high heels, or even flip flops. Wearing clean socks with closed shoes is important to ensure that sweat and bacteria do not accumulate within the shoe. Clean socks help to prevent Athlete’s foot, fungi problems, bad odors, and can absorb sweat.
