Pharmacist’s advice
Foot care should be regular, especially for people who stand for long periods, wear closed shoes, have increased foot sweating or are prone to cracked heels and blisters. Feet should be washed daily, dried well, especially between the toes, and products should be used according to the specific need. In cases of deep heel cracks, bleeding, pain, redness, swelling, nail changes, persistent unpleasant odor or suspected fungal infection, advice from a dermatologist, doctor or pharmacist is recommended. People with diabetes should take special care of their feet and should not treat corns or blisters with aggressive products without professional advice. Ljubica Barbulović, Master of Pharmacy
