A good daily foot inspection should also include checking your nails thoroughly. When trimming your nails, cut straight across to a length just below the end of the toe, taking small pieces at a time.
Do not cut into the corners! Cutting into the corners is one of the most common causes of ingrown toenails. Instead, after cutting straight across, smooth off the nail using downward strokes of the Scholl nail file included in this kit.
If you can't see your feet because of poor eyesight or limited flexibility, make sure you get assistance, either from a family member or your podiatrist.
