Your feet work hard every day, and keeping them healthy is essential for comfort and mobility. Whether you need routine maintenance or treatment for skin and nail conditions, our podiatry services ensure your feet stay pain-free and in top condition.
Condition Details:
-
Ingrown toenails (including surgical removal if required)
Ingrown toenails happen when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, swelling, and sometimes infection. Treatment options include conservative care and minor surgical procedures to remove the ingrown portion and promote healing.
-
Corns and calluses
These thickened areas of skin develop from ongoing pressure or friction, often from footwear. We gently remove the buildup and provide advice on reducing pressure to prevent recurrence.
-
Thickened or difficult-to-cut toenails
Toenails may thicken with age, trauma, or fungal infection, making them hard to trim. We use professional tools to safely reduce nail thickness and shape them to reduce discomfort and risk of injury.
-
Fungal nail infections
Fungal infections can cause nails to become discoloured, brittle, and distorted. We offer diagnosis and management options, including topical and oral treatments, along with hygiene advice to reduce reinfection.
-
Cracked heels
Cracked skin on the heels can be painful and even lead to infection if deep. We carefully remove hard skin, apply moisturisers, and recommend products or footwear changes to support healing.
-
Athlete's foot (tinea pedis)
This fungal skin infection causes itching, peeling, and redness, especially between the toes. We diagnose and recommend effective antifungal treatments and preventive hygiene strategies.
-
Warts (plantar warts, including removal treatments)
Plantar warts are caused by the HPV virus and typically appear on the soles of the feet. We offer various treatment options such as debridement and topical acids depending on the size and persistence of the wart.
-
Blisters and pressure sores
Often caused by friction or poorly fitting footwear, these lesions can become serious if ignored. We assess the cause, provide wound care, and offer padding or orthotic solutions to relieve pressure and prevent recurrence.
