Q. The skin on my left foot feels raw after standing for a long time. Why?
Hi doctor,
My work requires me to be on my feet. After working for 14 hours on two consecutive days, the skin on my left foot feels like it is raw. What could be causing it to feel like this?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- It sometimes happens when we unknowingly put undue pressure on our feet, but it cannot be avoided as we are bipedal. But make sure to give rest frequently to your feet.
- Take rest and sit down every half an hour for at least 10 minutes.
- Do some foot massage when free.
- Do hydrotherapy foot exercises like ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion inside warm water.
- Stand on toes and tighten the calf muscles.
- Apply moisturizer regularly and keep clean.
- Stretch the dorsum of the foot for proper circulation.
