Foot Skin Conditions
We specialise in diagnosing and treating a wide range of foot skin conditions to keep your feet healthy and comfortable. From common issues like athlete’s foot, corns and calluses to more complex conditions such as plantar warts, fungal infections and eczema – our team offers expert care tailored to your needs.
Common Foot Skin Conditions
1. Athlete’s Foot (Tinea Pedis):
Athlete’s Foot is a fungal infection affecting the skin between the toes, often causing itching, redness, and a burning sensation. Our podiatrists can provide targeted antifungal treatments to alleviate symptoms and prevent recurrence.
2. Eczema and Dermatitis:
Skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis can manifest on the feet, causing redness, itching, and inflammation. City Chiropody & Podiatry offers personalised care plans, including topical treatments and lifestyle adjustments to manage and control these chronic conditions.
3. Psoriasis:
Psoriasis can affect the skin on the feet, leading to scaly patches and discomfort. Our podiatrists collaborate with dermatologists to develop comprehensive treatment strategies, combining topical therapies and systemic approaches for effective relief.
4. Corns, Calluses, and Hard Skin:
Thickened areas of skin, such as corns, calluses, and hard skin, can cause discomfort and affect foot aesthetics. Our podiatrists specialise in debridement techniques, orthotic interventions, and footwear advice to address these conditions and prevent recurrence.
5. Cracked Heels:
Cracked heels can result from dry skin or underlying conditions. City Chiropody & Podiatry offers moisturising regimens, exfoliation techniques, and professional care to heal and prevent further complications associated with cracked heels.
