Corns, calluses, dry skin
These are common foot problems that may become painful they can be easily and painlessly removed relieving discomfort almost instantly,
Ingrown or thickened nails
Nails become ingrown for a variety of reasons. They can become infected swollen and very painful. We offer a full range nail surgery with local anaesthetic when this is the case. Sometimes nails are thickened and don't appear to grow properly this maybe from injury or due to fungal infections we can advise you on their care and management.
Verrucae or plantar warts
Verrucae are caused by a virus which invades the surface layers of the skin. Elsewhere on your body they look typically like warts but on your feet you squash them by walking and they form hardened lumps of hard skin which may or may not be painful. Verrucae are picked up in communal areas such as swimming pools gym's etc. so if you have strange areas of hard skin appearing and possibly spreading you should have them examined. They are treated individually according to their site and how long you have had them, the common treatments are chemicals and cryotherapy (freezing).
Fungal skin infections
These, like verrucae, are generally picked up in communal areas they can be chronic or aggressive and are generally worse in hot weather. We can prescribe a course of treatment.
Diabetes, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
All these conditions can potentially have a significant affect on the foot. We offer check ups for diabetic patients assessing blood flow and sensation and advise on long term care.
rthritis can cause deformities which affect the way your foot works we are able to help with pressure relieving devices and give footwear advice in addition to managing associated callous and corns.
Psoriasis can cause problems with nails and make them thick and difficult to manage. Occasionally it can be associated with a form of arthritis that attacks the small joints of the feet and hands and this can be very debilitating.
