💨 Abstract

Pedicures can be a relaxing summer treat, but safety should be a priority. Nurse practitioner Ginger Freese advises choosing licensed facilities and observing sanitization practices, such as cleaning foot baths and sterilizing tools between uses. Individuals with circulation issues, diabetes, neuropathy, or active foot infections should avoid pedicures or consult healthcare providers first. Freese emphasizes that getting a pedicure with infections can spread diseases to others.
