A foot care plan ensures that the foot condition improves, wherever possible, after treatment, especially if ongoing visits are required,(ie patients that have long term health problems such as Cardio Vascular Disease, Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis etc are more likely to need on going foot care).
Corns form when the pressure or friction on an area skin is very localised, causing the skin to over-harden considerably compared to the skin around it. People describing the sensation caused by a corn will often say it’s like walking on a stone. They can form almost anywhere on the foot but are usually; on the top, the ends or in-between the toes, under the foot, or under the toenails.
Calluses are thick, hardened layers of skin which grow when your skin attempts to protect itself from pressure and friction, they can become painful if not treated correctly.
Athlete’s Foot, also known as tinea pedis, is a common skin disease of the foot brought on by a fungal infection. Signs and symptoms can include scaling, itching, redness and breaking of the skin. Athlete’s foot can infect any portion of the foot, but most frequently develops between the toes.
If a nail has ingrown then it has punctured the skin at the side of the toe, the toe will be infected, inflamed and extremely painful to touch, it will required careful removal by a skilled and experienced clinician.
