6 Summer Foot Problems and How to Solve Them

Summer weather, with high temperatures and increased sweating, poses challenges for our hair, skin, and feet. In addition to excessive sweating, feet can swell due to high temperatures causing blood vessels to expand. But the problems don't stop there. Here are 6 common summer foot problems and how you can solve them.

1. Swollen feet: As mentioned, high temperatures cause blood vessels to expand, leading to fluid retention and swelling. Cold compresses can help with swollen feet, and we also advise avoiding prolonged standing.

2. Sweaty feet: Increased sweating during the summer can cause unpleasant odors and increase the risk of fungal infections.

Regularly wash your feet, use foot antiperspirants, and wear breathable shoes and socks.

3. Blisters: Blisters are caused by ill-fitting shoes or prolonged walking. To avoid blisters, wear comfortable shoes that fit well, and consider using blister patches and protective pads.

4. Warts: Viral warts easily spread in moist environments (such as swimming pools). Therefore, wear shoes in public places, use protective sandals, and regularly disinfect your footwear.

5. Cracked skin: If you have cracked skin on your feet, regularly moisturize them with foot cream.

6. Infections: Fungal and bacterial infections are more common due to increased sweating and moist conditions. Keep your feet dry and clean, and use antifungal sprays or creams if necessary.
