With Kerfoot busy grinding on the ice, we wanted to make sure he was scoring some points by taking care of his KerFEET as well.

Post-sports foot care is very important, and goes beyond having a shower.
Walking in shared change rooms poses a risk of getting warts where people are walking around in bare feet as well. This is because warts are a contagious viral skin condition that can be passed on when your foot comes into contact with a surface that has been infected. Wearing shoes such as sandals and flip flops is highly recommended in these facilities.

Blisters may happen from the friction of your shoes (or skates) against the skin, forming a fluid-filled bubble. Do not pop these as this may introduce bacteria to the area, causing an infection. Instead, wear shoes that decrease the pressure in that area.

Athlete’s foot is caused by a fungus that naturally lives on our bodies. If they live in a warm, moist environment they can multiply, causing an itchy, scaling rash. Thoroughly drying the feet and changing socks often may help with this.

So Mr. Kerfoot, if you are experiencing any of the above, please give our office a call. We need you in tip top shape so you can keep scoring those goals.
