@drhannahleedpm: 5 things I would never do to my own feet, as a podiatrist. 1. Cut my toenail corners round. That curve is exactly how ingrown toenails start. Straight across, and leave the corners. 2. Dig out an ingrown nail myself. Bathroom surgery usually leaves a little spike that grows right back in, and it is an easy way to get an infection. If you have diabetes or poor circulation, please do not try this one at all. 3. Let anyone take a razor to my calluses. One slip is an infected cut, and the callus comes back anyway, because the pressure that built it is still there. 4. Walk barefoot in a gym shower. Warm wet floors are where athlete's foot and plantar warts get passed around. A cheap pair of shower sandals solves it. 5. Keep running in shoes that are already dead. The cushioning wears out long before the shoe looks worn. Be honest, which one are you guilty of? Tell me the number in the comments. #podiatrist #footcare #ingrowntoenail #athletesfoot #foothealth
