Solutions For Common Summer Foot Problems

As the weather gets warmer, we’re spending more time outside which means that we’re more prone to foot problems. Here are 5 common foot problems that occur in the summer and their solutions:

1. Problem: Swelling

Solution: Drink more water and increase exercise to boost blood flow to your feet. Also, place your feet up on a couple pillows so that they’re on an incline helps too.

2. Problem: Sunburn

Solution: Make sure you wear and reapply waterproof sunscreen on the tops and bottoms of your feet. If they are burnt already, use aloe vera cream.

3. Problem: Cracked heels

Solution: Exfoliate and moisturize they bottoms of your feet. Use extra lotion before you go to bed.

4. Problem: Foot pain

Solution:  Wear sandals with foot support or higher quality material like soft leather.
