Boys and Girls...

Thoughtful Thursdays...

The average American woman has 33 pairs of shoes.

The average American man has 10 pairs.

Does that mean we gals are three times as clever:)?

Plantar Warts--The Long Goodbye

Workin' Wednesday

If you have a plantar wart on the bottom of your foot you are likely wishing to part company with it.  If you are suffering any pain from this unwelcome visitor, please make an appointment with your podiatrist to have it removed immediately.

Now, if you are bent on trying to evict a plantar wart that is not painful, but a nuisance, by trying various over-the-counter remedies commonly found at grocery or drugstores...let me save you some money!

Head to your nearest junk drawer, toolbox or garage and pull out your ever-useful duct tape! Cut a piece large enough to cover the wart completely, and repeat this every 2-3 days until the wart has vacated the premisis.

We all want instant results, but I can tell you that the store bought remedies require the same diligence and time as the duct tape...but the duct tape is drastically cheaper, less messy, will not burn off any skin and easier to apply at regular intervals.  This all lends to greater success in evicting the plantar wart.

It may very well take a couple of months to get rid of the wart, but I have seen results in as little as 3 weeks.  So, prepare yourself for the long goodbye, but know that you will eventually be victorious and thrift all at the same time.

Also, plantar warts like to multiply so it is a good idea to get that duct tape on right away.  There are times when a plantar wart will rampantly multiply and this situation also calls for an immediate appointment with the podiatrist.

Now where is that duct tape....:

Wishing you wart free, happy feet!

Avoid Athletes Foot

Tips on Tuesday

It is common knowledge and my experience that prevention is far more pleasant than treatment of just about any ailment.  Athletes foot can certainly be prevented by adopting these simple habits:

Each time you exit the bath/shower use a hair dryer to thoroughly dry between all your toes...this is also a good time to improve your toe-spread....flexible toes are also happier toes.

Floss your toes with some soft gauze 2-3 times a week to remove any potential dampness or debris that can cause trouble....by the way, flossing between your toes feels sooo gooood!

Pull out the insoles of your shoes whenever possible to let them dry out between each wear.

Wear water friendly footwear in public showers instead of going barefoot to avoid picking up any fungus.

Use only your own towel to dry your feet. 

Wear moisture wicking socks when you are planning to work up a good sweat.

Applying some tender loving thought and care to your feet way down there is apt to put a smile on your face that you can share!

happy dry feet,
