PREVENTION


you know more than anyone how important it is to keep your skin dry and hydrated 


  1. Prevention of fungal infections: Moisture is a breeding ground for fungi and bacteria, which can cause fungal infections such as athlete's foot (tinea pedis) or onychomycosis (nail infection). By keeping the skin of your feet dry, you reduce the risk of these annoying infections. 
  2. Prevention of blisters and ulcers: Moist skin is more susceptible to rubbing and irritation, which can lead to the formation of blisters or ulcers, especially in patients with sensitive feet or those prone to problems such as diabetes (primary prevention). By keeping the skin dry, you reduce the risk of these skin lesions. 
  3. Comfort and general well-being: Dry feet are more comfortable and less prone to discomfort such as itching, burning or bad odor. Keeping the skin of your feet dry therefore contributes to the general well-being of the patient and improves their quality of life. 
  4. Better fit of orthopedic aids: For patients who use orthopedic aids such as insoles or orthoses, keeping the skin of the foot dry is important to ensure better fit and effectiveness of the aids. 
  5. Prevent excessive sweating: In some cases, excessive sweating of the feet (plantar hyperhidrosis) can cause discomfort and increase the risk of fungal infections. Keeping the skin dry can help control this problem. 



In general, keeping the skin of the foot dry is a fundamental practice for the health and well-being of the feet. ARIA insoles, thanks to their continuous exchange of air in the shoe, facilitate can help your patients in prevention and, partially, compensate for the frequent poor adherence to your advice on the rotation of footwear and adequate hygiene habits to keep the feet dry and healthy.

Onychocryptosis


 

Keeping the humidity in the shoe low during the treatment of onychocryptosis, or ingrown toenail, is important for several reasons: 

 

  1. Preventing infections: Moisture encourages the growth of bacteria and fungi, increasing the risk of infection. Since ingrown toenails can cause small cuts or abrasions to the surrounding skin, keeping the humidity low can reduce the risk of associated skin infections. 
  2. Improving comfort: Moisture in the shoe can increase irritation and discomfort, especially if the ingrown toenail is already painful. Keeping the shoe dry reduces discomfort and improves patient comfort during treatment. 
  3. Promoting healing: A dry environment can help the ingrown toenail and surrounding areas heal more quickly and effectively. Moisture can delay the healing process and may contribute to inflammation of the skin. Keeping humidity low promotes better AIR circulation around the nail, facilitating recovery. 
  4. Better adhesion of treatments: Some treatments for onychocryptosis, such as the application of dressings or specific solutions, may not adhere properly if the area is constantly moist. Keeping humidity low inside the shoe promotes better adhesion of treatments and increases their effectiveness. 
  5. Prevention of complications: High humidity can create a favorable environment for the development of further skin problems, such as fungal infections or dermatitis. Keeping humidity low inside the shoe reduces the risk of complications during the treatment of onychocryptosis. 



MYCOSIS

 

When treating foot mycosis, it is important to keep the humidity in the shoe low for several reasons: 


  1. Unfavorable environment for fungi: The fungi that cause mycosis of the foot, such as the so-called "athlete's foot" (tinea pedis), thrive in moist, warm environments. Reducing the humidity in your shoes creates a less favorable environment for the fungi to grow. 
  2. Preventing fungal growth: Keeping the humidity low reduces the chance that fungi will multiply and spread in your shoes. This helps prevent the infection from returning or getting worse. 
  3. Promoting healing: Reducing the humidity in your shoe helps the skin lesions associated with foot fungus heal. The dry environment can help reduce irritation and promote the regeneration of damaged skin. 
  4. Increased comfort: Damp shoes can cause discomfort and increase the risk of skin irritation. By keeping humidity low, comfort during the treatment of foot fungus is improved. 


BLISTERS


 

When treating and preventing foot blisters, keeping the humidity in your shoe low is important for several reasons: 

  1. Preventing friction: Foot blisters are often caused by repeated friction between the skin and the inside surface of the shoe. Moisture can increase friction and abrasion of the skin, making blisters more likely to form. Keeping the humidity in your shoe low reduces the risk of friction and blisters. 
  2. Preventing infection: Open blisters can be vulnerable to bacterial or fungal infections. Moisture inside your shoe can encourage the growth of bacteria or fungi, increasing the risk of blister infection. Keeping the inside of your shoe dry reduces the risk of infection. 
  3. Promoting healing: Blisters can heal more quickly in a dry environment. Keeping the humidity in your shoe low helps existing blisters heal, reducing the risk of them getting worse or complications. 
  4. Increased Comfort: Blisters can be painful and uncomfortable. Keeping moisture in your shoe reduces the discomfort associated with blisters, allowing for greater comfort while walking. 



 

HYPERHIDROSIS

 

 

When treating hyperhidrosis of the foot (excessive sweating), keeping the humidity in the shoe low is important for several reasons: 

 

  • Odor control: Excessive sweating can cause a moist environment inside the shoe, which promotes bacterial and fungal growth, which can lead to unpleasant odors. Keeping the humidity in the shoe low reduces the growth of bacteria and fungi that cause unpleasant odors. 
  • Prevention of infections: Moisture inside the shoe can promote the development of fungal infections such as onychomycosis (fungal nail infection) or tinea pedis (athlete's foot). Keeping the inside of the shoe dry reduces the risk of developing these infections. 
  • Increased comfort: Wet or damp shoes can be uncomfortable to wear and can cause skin irritation, such as skin maceration. Keeping the humidity in the shoe low improves walking comfort and reduces the risk of skin irritation. 
  • Blister Prevention: Moisture and friction can contribute to foot blisters. Keeping the moisture in your shoe low reduces the risk of friction and blisters. 



PRIMARY PREVENTION DIABETIC FOOT


 

In the primary prevention of diabetic foot, keeping moisture in the shoe low is important for several reasons: 


  1. Reducing the risk of infections: People with diabetes are more susceptible to infections, including skin infections. Moisture inside the shoe can promote the growth of bacteria and fungi, increasing the risk of developing skin infections. Keeping the inside of the shoe dry reduces the risk of infections and helps protect the health of the feet.
  2. Preventing ulcers: People with diabetes are at increased risk of developing foot ulcers, which can lead to serious complications, such as infections, gangrene, and amputations. Moisture inside the shoe can increase the risk of developing ulcers, as softened skin is more vulnerable to damage and injury. Keeping the moisture in the shoe low reduces the risk of skin damage and ulcer development.
  3. Increased comfort and well-being: People with diabetes may have decreased sensation in their feet, which means they may not perceive signs of discomfort or pain caused by moisture and friction in their shoes. Keeping the humidity in your shoe low improves comfort and reduces the risk of foot damage that may go unnoticed due to decreased sensation.
  4. Promoting blood circulation: Excess moisture can contribute to conditions such as skin maceration, which can impede blood circulation in your feet. Keeping the humidity in your shoe low promotes better blood circulation in your feet, helping to maintain tissue health
