The month of May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, specifically designated just before the official start of the summer, to remind us to be mindful of the sun’s rays. While many of us enjoy being out in the sun, excessive sun exposure can be harmful. After just a few serious sunburns, one’s risk of developing skin cancer significantly increases. The sun also has a drying effect on our skin, reducing its suppleness and its soft texture. Our feet are important, and need to be protected when outdoors.
There are some easy ways to take care of our feet when outside, as discussed in our video:
Earlier this month, I was quoted several times regarding insoles and various types of footwear:
- How to shop for insoles, according to podiatrists

- Do you really need golf shoes to play golf? Experts share their thoughts

From all of us at Progressive Foot Care, we wish you a most enjoyable upcoming summer. Be safe and have fun!
Taking good care of your feet can be your first step towards good health. Remember, your feet are the foundation for your body.
Yours in good health,Dr. Bruce Pinker, DPM, AACFAS, FAPWCA, DABPM, FACPM
