If you have unexpected foot pain, see a doctor. Inspect your feet regularly. Pay attention to changes in color and temperature of your feet. Look for thick or discoloured nails. Check for cracks or cuts in the skin. Peeling or scaling on the soles of feet could indicate athlete's foot. Any growth on the foot is not considered normal. Wash your feet regularly Trim toenails straight across, but not too short. Make sure that your shoes fit properly.
