<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I feel like I am going to slip on the bare floors but not on the carpet but if I remove my shoes or sandals , I can walk bare foot without the feeling of slipping. I have added plavix and metformin to my medicines recently and wonder if they are causing the problem?  <response>: Hello, What appears to me is the slipping is not caused due to the medications you are taking. This slipping might be due to non-gripping of the foot skin texture. What I would suggest is to dip the feet in the normal room temperature water and then clean it nicely with a towel, so the dead skin comes out by rubbing the towel harder. The new skin texture will form, and you will get a good grip. Also, try picking up petals or marbles with the help of the toes, so you start getting good holding grip. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
