How often should I inspect my feet?

Inspect your feet regularly for any changes or issues. Look for cuts, bruises, redness, or swelling, paying close attention to areas between your toes and the soles. Ensure your feet are clean and dry, and moisturize if your skin is dry (avoiding between the toes). If you notice anything unusual, such as sores that don't heal or ingrown toenails, consult your healthcare team promptly. Making foot inspections a routine part of self-care is crucial in preventing complications and ensuring early intervention if needed.
