Our feet do a lot of heavy lifting every day, carrying the entire weight of our bodies. But they’re often overlooked.
Feet are prone to various issues, especially if you frequently wear tight shoes, sweat excessively, or neglect their care.
Let’s take a closer look at some common foot problems and how to treat them effectively.
1. Athlete’s Foot
Itchy between your toes? You might have athlete’s foot, a fungal infection that thrives in warm, moist areas. Symptoms include redness, peeling, and sometimes a foul odor.
What to do:
- Keep your feet dry
- Change socks daily
- Avoid walking barefoot in public areas
- Use antifungal treatments if needed
2. Blisters
Blisters are fluid-filled bubbles that are often caused by friction, typically from new or tight-fitting shoes.
Care tips:
- Don’t pop them intentionally
- If they burst, clean the area and spray with wund+™ Wound Spray
- Keep it dry and clean to avoid infection
3. Calluses
Calluses are thickened skin that develops from repeated pressure or friction, usually on the soles or sides of the feet.
How to treat:
- Soak your feet in warm water
- Gently rub with a pumice stone
- Apply moisturizer afterwards
4. Ingrown Toenails
Cutting toenails too short or unevenly can cause them to grow into the skin, leading to pain, swelling, and sometimes infection.
First aid tips:
- Soak feet in warm water
- Place a small piece of cotton under the nail edge
- If there’s an open wound, spray with wund+™ Wound Spray
- See a doctor if there’s pus or severe pain
5. Fungal Nail Infections
This condition causes nails to become thick, brittle, and discolored. It is often overlooked at first, but it can spread to other nails.
Reminder:
Fungal infections are persistent and require consistent treatment. Don’t delay proper care.
6. Diabetic Foot Complications
For people with diabetes, even minor wounds can become infected due to poor blood circulation and slow healing.
Daily must-dos:
- Check your feet every day
- Don’t ignore minor cuts or blisters
- Immediately clean and spray with wund+™ Wound Spray to prevent infection

Your feet work hard and deserve care. Start showing them more love by paying attention to their health.
Keep wund+™ Wound Spray on hand as your go-to solution for keeping minor wounds clean, protected, and infection-free, especially for sensitive or high-risk skin.
