Summer is one of the busiest seasons for foot wounds.

Many people don’t realize that hot sand, pool decks, boat decks, and even new shoes can cause burns, blisters, and skin breakdown—especially in patients with diabetes, neuropathy, or poor circulation.

The good news? Most of these injuries are preventable.

If you have diabetes, inspect your feet daily, wear protective footwear, and don’t ignore new redness, blisters, or wounds.

A little prevention now can save a lot of treatment later.

Your body has ways of dropping hints.

Your feet can tell us more than people realize. 👣

Burning, tingling, numbness, dry skin, slow healing cuts… sometimes the feet show signs before people even know they have diabetes.

Don’t ignore the whispers from your body.

Not all neuropathy is straightforward.

A nerve biopsy is a specialized test where a small piece of nerve tissue is examined more closely to help identify certain causes and severity of nerve damage.
