Cautions & When to See a Doctor
While vinegar foot baths are safe for most people, keep the following in mind:
-
Dilute properly: Undiluted vinegar may irritate the skin.
-
Avoid open wounds or cracks: Soaking broken skin may sting or worsen irritation.
-
Sensitive skin or eczema? Test a small area first or consult a dermatologist.
-
Persistent issues (like severe fungal infections or painful cracks) should always be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
