Wang Xiaoxia, a dermatologist at the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, reminded women wearing boots to also prevent frostbite.
After putting on the boots, the feet are prone to sweating a lot and the human body will automatically shut off the circulatory system of the superficial skin, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the foot. Insufficient blood supply means that the foot will suffer from necrosis of the surrounding skin tissue due to lack of supply of oxygen and nutrients, resulting in foot cracking and frostbite. So pay attention to constantly check whether your feet have sweated, put on dry socks and dry insoles in time. The “sweat-footed†women, who often wear boots, wear acrylic fiber socks instead of pure cotton. Acrylic fiber socks are good for sweat absorption. Also, be careful not to wear too tight a footwear so as not to hinder the blood circulation of the foot. If there are conditions, you can also apply some antiperspirant oil on your feet to avoid sweating on your feet.
