@stepsistersdpm: Quick foot care tip: Always dry between your toes after bathing or showering. Many people dry the top and bottom of the foot—but forget between the toes, where moisture can stay trapped. Why it matters: ✔️ Excess moisture can lead to skin maceration (soft, white, damaged skin) ✔️ Macerated skin is more likely to crack or fissure ✔️ Cracks can become an entry point for infection ✔️ Higher risk of athlete’s foot (fungal infection) ✔️ Higher risk of bacterial infection ⚠️ Especially important for people with diabetes, poor circulation, or neuropathy, since small skin openings can lead to more serious infections. Simple habit. Big benefit. #quicktips #fungus #footcare #podiatry #doctor
