Dr Amir Khan, who works for the NHS and regularly appears on ITV, says our feet can give us a huge amount of information about our health - and shared the warning on social media
As the winter season approaches, our slippers become our closest companions, fluffy socks are retrieved from wardrobes, and baths serve as a haven for warming up cold toes.
Dr Khan recently shared his expert advice with his 537,000 Instagram followers, stating: "I know the thought of feet turns a lot of people off but your feet can give you clues to your health from pain, swelling to numbness." Dr Khan elaborated: "It's more common if you have poorly controlled diabetes but also you can get it if you have low B12 or folic acid level, if you have thyroid disease, if you drink a lot of alcohol and certain medication can it as well."
Dr Khan highlighted a fourth sign as "really important". He said if you have an ulcer or a sore on your foot that won't heal, ensure you get it checked out.
