Intensive care for feet

1. Clean, dry socks.
2. Nail clippers/scissors and file/emeryboard.
3. Antibacterial soap/handwash.
4. Friars balsam - a sticky yellow liquid which disinfects and toughens damaged or sensitive skin - great for "priming" before application of dressings (and can even be used as an inhalant to alleviate cold symptoms).
5. Antibacterial talcum powder - eg Lanacane.
6. Non-stick dressings - eg. Mipore/Melanin.
7. Low tack dressing tape - eg Micropore - apply before application of anti-rub dressings.
8. Zinc oxide tape - use as an anti-rub dressing on any "hot spots" to avoid blisters.
9. Stretchy fabric dressing tape - for awkward areas around toes
10. Pre-blister treatments - eg. Spenco/Compeed

1. "Other" shoes. Sandals, Crocs, baffies, whatever. Something to let your feet (and boots) take a breather when you stop for the night.
2. Eucalyptus and tea tree oil. Cooling, soothing, disinfecting: a foot-spa in a bottle.
