Callus & Corns and Cracked Heels
Are thickened areas of skin on your feet that can cause pain when you walk. They are the result of excess pressure or friction. They can occur under feet, between toes or around heels. They form to protect underlying tissue and are part of the body’s defence system.
Ingrown Toenails
Are very common and can affect people of all ages. They occur when the nail grows into the skin around it and causes pain, tenderness, swelling and if left untreated can become infected. They can often be the result of trauma, the way toenails are trimmed, the shape of the nail or poor fitting footwear.
Warts
Are a viral infection affecting the skin, particularly hands and feet. They are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus and are passed on through broken areas of the skin. They can be very painful if they occur in weight bearing areas of the foot.
