Daily Diabetic Foot Care & Prevention Guide
Most diabetic foot care happens between office visits. A few deliberate minutes each day can help you notice changes before they become larger problems. If reaching the soles is difficult, a mirror or help from someone you trust can make the routine more manageable.

Understand the concern
What may be behind these symptoms?
Prevention is a pattern of small decisions: checking the skin, choosing well-fitting shoes and knowing when to call. This is especially important when numbness makes an injury less noticeable. Some people need more frequent clinical foot checks because of prior ulcers, deformity or circulation problems.
Dr. Daniel Brandwein, DPM, PA, FACFAS provides podiatric care in Pompano Beach. An office assessment can help determine which steps are appropriate for your situation. The aim is a clear explanation, sensible choices, and a plan based on the condition—not a one-size-fits-all promise.
What to pay attention to
Symptoms and changes worth discussing
A change does not automatically mean something serious, but describing it clearly helps your podiatrist understand what is happening and decide which findings matter.
- A new cut, blister, crack or discolored patch
- Red pressure marks after removing shoes
- Thick calluses or nails that catch on socks
- New swelling, warmth or skin temperature differences

Treatment approach
Care options to discuss with your podiatrist
Good podiatry care begins with the cause and the patient’s goals. Some concerns need monitoring or footwear adjustments; others benefit from procedures, testing or collaboration with other clinicians.
The following options may be part of a clinical discussion, depending on individual findings. No particular procedure or outcome is promised.
- Individualized diabetic foot screening
- Advice about skin moisture and callus prevention
- Nail care guidance for patients with higher-risk feet
- Assessment of shoes and protective inserts
- Evaluation of new wounds, numbness or circulation symptoms
Before your visit
Think about when symptoms began, what makes them better or worse, and what you have already tried. Bring a medication list and any relevant shoes or prior records if useful.
The staff can explain current scheduling and help you prepare for your appointment.
Everyday care
Helpful steps and habits
- Inspect the tops, soles and spaces between toes every day.
- Wash with comfortably warm—not hot—water and dry carefully, especially between toes.
- Use moisturizer on dry skin when advised, but avoid leaving moisture between toes.
- Do not use sharp tools or medicated corn-removal pads to trim calluses yourself.
When not to wait for a routine appointment
Call urgently if you discover a new open wound, red hot swollen skin, sudden color change or evidence of infection. Seek emergency attention if you feel severely ill or there are signs of rapidly progressing infection.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Why check daily if nothing hurts?
Loss of sensation can allow a minor injury to go unnoticed. A visual check adds a layer of protection.
Can I soak my feet to soften calluses?
People with diabetes, especially those with neuropathy, should ask their clinician before soaking; prolonged exposure and heat can injure skin.
Is a pedicure safe with diabetes?
Risk depends on sensation, circulation and skin condition. Discuss nail care with a podiatrist if you have increased risk.
Who should help me with nail trimming?
If vision, mobility, thick nails or neuropathy make trimming difficult, ask a clinician about appropriate professional care.
