Diabetic Foot Care Made Simple: Daily Routine + Hypochlorous Spray for Infection Prevention and Skin Health

Daily Diabetic Foot Care Routine: Prevent Infections and Protect Skin with Hypochlorous Acid Spray

Diabetes can reduce blood flow and sensation in the feet, which means cuts and blisters might go unnoticed—and take longer to heal. Add in a higher risk for infections like athlete’s foot or fungal nails, and it’s easy to see why routine diabetic foot care matters.

Some of the most common skin concerns I see in diabetic patients include:

• Cracked heels

• Fungal infections in the nails and skin

• Persistent redness or irritation

• Slow-healing cuts and pressure spots

These may start small but can become serious if ignored.

My Go-To Daily Routine for Diabetic Foot and Skin Health

Here’s what I recommend to my patients—and what I follow in my own practice:

1. Inspect your feet daily. Use a mirror or ask a family member if needed. Catching a small problem early is the best defense.

2. Keep skin clean, but don’t over-scrub. Use gentle cleansers that don’t strip the skin.

3. Moisturize, but skip between the toes. Hydration helps prevent cracking, but excess moisture between toes can invite fungus.

4. Use antimicrobial protection daily. This is where I often recommend a product I personally developed.

   
   

Why I Created Lighthouse Daily Defense HOCl Spray

I was searching for something gentle, effective, and truly safe for my diabetic patients—something I would feel good using on my own skin. That’s why I developed our Lighthouse Daily Defense Hypochlorous Acid Spray.

This medical-grade hypochlorous acid spray is:

• Antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory

• Alcohol-free, fragrance-free, and non-stinging

• Safe for all skin types, including compromised or sensitive skin

• Made in the USA with a stable 0.02% hypochlorous acid formula

  
  

It mimics the way your immune system naturally fights bacteria and inflammation, making it a perfect fit for daily diabetic skin care.

How to Use It

Spray directly on clean feet once or twice a day—no need to rinse. Let it air dry for 60 seconds. It’s quick, painless, and adds an extra layer of protection to your routine.

Final Thoughts

The most important thing to know? You have more control than you think. Taking just a few minutes each day to care for your skin can help prevent infections, improve comfort, and support your long-term health.

You don’t have to wait for a problem to take action. Start with simple, effective steps—and if you ever have questions, I’m here to help.

Stay well,
