In the list prepared by podiatrists, there are 5 important mistakes that should never be done to your feet. The list that doctors list as five critical mistakes includes common movements that almost everyone makes, from using a foot peeling mask to wearing shoes without socks.
5 CONTINUOUS MISTAKES
WEARING SHOES WITHOUT SOCKS
Wearing shoes without socks makes you susceptible to fungal infections.
WALKING WITH BABY
No matter how short your walk is, you should never have balls on your feet. Experts call wearing flats without socks a “double mistake”.
MASKS PEELING THE FOOT SKIN
Experts, who say that the masks that peel the skin of the feet, whose popularity has increased rapidly in recent years, contain great danger, say that these masks do more harm than good. Foot peeling masks dry the skin, this dryness increases sweating, and naturally, it can cause deep cracks and crevices on the feet. This whole process is quite painful.
PEDICURE
Cuticles act as a kind of cuticle. The cuticle actually acts as a barrier that protects the nail bases. To make the nails look neat, the cuticle is removed. Experts state that this should not be done, as the cuticle is a barrier to prevent infection from skin to toe. If you push the cuticle too far back, you risk creating an infection.
PEEL FOOT SKIN WITH A razor, callus removal
Experts saved the most important item for last. Foot experts, who say that there are people who scrape the thickened heel or callused area with a razor, say that this should not be done. “We use scalpels to remove calluses and thick skin, but we’ve been extensively trained to do that,” adds Reaney.
