3-Don’t pop blisters, but if they do pop, ensure you wash the area in saltwater and apply a clean, dry dressing. If you are very prone to blisters, it may be worth applying some Gehwol cream to areas you suffer with. This will act a bit of a barrier and help to reduce friction.![]()
Keep nails short, but not too short. Follow the line of the top of the toe.![]()

4-Hydrate often and hydrate your skin too, with an effective moisturiser.![]()

5-Massage your feet. Using a spikey ball under the foot is a great way to do this.![]()
