When You Should See a Podiatrist
2

• Many people dont know when to visit a foot
  specialist.
• Many patients wait longer than they need to
  before they come in to see a podiatrist

3
Corns and Callus

• Hard skin for on your feet can be very painful
  and needs professional care to gently remove the
  hard skin and give advice and treatment to
  prevent recurrence or manage the problem
  conservatively.

4
Soreness in Toes

• Soreness in the toes can be due to any number of
  injuries or conditions that podiatrists would
  need to evaluate at clinic.
• Pads, arch supports, and insoles can be fitted
  to your shoes to alleviate your foot pain.

5
Ingrown Toenails

• Ingrown toenails are caused when the nail, either
  by curvature or skin growth, actually grows into
  the skin, creating a very painful border to the
  toenail.
• It can occur on any toenail of the foot, and can
  get  infected very fast so its very important to
  see a doctor if you feel like the ingrown toenail
  is getting worse.

6
Bunions

• Bunions are a very serious foot condition in
  which there is a structural deformity of the
  bones in the foot and the joint that is between
  the foot and big toe which can sometimes be
  swollen and irritated at the base of the big toe.
• Sometimes it is painful and can cause the gait
  of the patient to be crooked, and always needs to
  be treated and cared for by a podiatrist.

7
Discoloured or Yellow Toenails

• Discoloured or yellow toe nails are usually
  caused by a type of fungus of the nail, this can
  be very easily treated with topical ointments or
   in the more severe cases by oral medications
  from your GP.

A Wound or Sore That Does Not Heal

• You need to come and see podiatrist if you have
  an open sore on your foot or ankle. This is
  particularly important if you have diabetes as it
  usually takes you longer to heal.

Numbness or Swelling

• If you have pain and swelling in one foot and
  not the other you should see a podiatrist.
