FAQs About Foot Creams
Foot creams are used for treating fungal infections, athlete's foot, corns, calluses, cracked heels, dry skin, foot ulcers, swelling, numbness/tingling, ingrown toenails, and/or plantar warts.
Good foot creams are fragrance- and dye-free; contain urea (10–25%) to soften dry skin; contain glycerin, lanolin, or shea butter to lock in moisture; are hypoallergenic; are non-greasy; and are quick-absorbing.
Avoid creams with strong perfumes, alcohol, menthol, heating agents, or petroleum jelly. These ingredients can irritate sensitive skin, worsen dryness, mask symptoms, or increase infection risk, which can be particularly dangerous due to impaired healing and nerve damage (neuropathy).
- Avoid toes: To prevent fungal infections, do not apply cream between your toes. People with diabetes heal slower from infections.
- Check for wounds: Inspect feet for cuts or sores. To avoid infections, don’t apply cream to open wounds.
- Moisturize lightly: Apply a thin layer daily. Too much cream can soften skin excessively.
- Test for reactions: Try a small amount first to check for irritation and stop if redness occurs.
Wash your feet daily with lukewarm water and mild soap. Dry them well, especially between your toes. Apply cream to the top and bottom of your feet, heels, and sides, avoiding between toes unless advised differently.
