Important Medical & Safety Information
For your safety, Pedikur lotion should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional if you fall into any of the following categories:
- Diabetics or individuals with impaired circulation and reduced skin sensation.
- Individuals with bleeding disorders, such as haemophilia, or those taking blood-thinning medications (e.g., Aspirin, Marcumar).
- Allergy sufferers (please review the ingredient list with your doctor prior to use).
If you are in any doubt, please contact your medical specialist before starting any callus treatment.
Special Guidance for Diabetics
Good foot care is critical for diabetics, yet surprisingly, only 1 in 10 have their feet examined regularly. Because poor circulation and reduced sensation can hide the early signs of injury, we recommend the following daily routine:
- Inspect daily: Examine your feet carefully once a day, using a mirror if necessary to see the soles.
- Check the details: Pay close attention to dents, swellings, redness, or tears in the skin, especially between your toes.
- Seek help early: Consult a physician at the first sign of even the slightest change.
- Avoid harsh tools: Never use razor blades, rough files, callus rasps, or callus planes. The risk of accidental injury is too high. Even pumice stones can damage healthy skin due to their coarse structure.
Note on Pedikur Lotion: While gentle callus removal is important to avoid the injuries caused by the harsh tools mentioned above, the specific sensitivities of diabetic skin mean you must still consult your doctor, chiropodist, or podiatrist to ensure this lotion is right for you.
Special Guidance for Bleeding Disorders
Whether you have a hereditary condition like haemophilia, or you take medications that impair blood coagulation (such as Aspirin or Marcumar), it takes much longer for bleeding to stop after a minor injury. Because of this heightened risk, you must consult your medical specialist before using this product.
