THE situation suffered in Valencia by DANA requires affected persons and volunteers to use daily and during several hours wearing shoes they are not used tolike the rubber boots who help with cleaning tasks.
To avoid foot injuries, the Illustrious Official College of Podiatry of the Valencian Community (ICOPCV) has shared some recommendations on feet and nails after exposure to an environment wet. The most common injuries are dermatitis and fungus.
He podiatrist and ICOPCV board member, Jorge Escotostressed: “The first thing we must do is to try protect feet from moistureFor Keep them dry and insulated, which is why waterproof boots are necessary. or the use of shoes made of waterproof materials. To this we must add good socks that protect and keep the feet dry, because the plastic contained in the boots causes greater perspiration.”
It is recommended to carry a change of socks and change them as soon as possible if they get wet: “If you have not been able to protect your feet from water or mud with insulated shoes, you should wear them . wash your feet well after the day with neutral soap and lukewarm water, dry them properly and pay special attention to the interdigital spaces,” Escoto said.
