Ingrown Toenail

One of the most common problems people face with their feet is ingrown toenails. Ranging from annoying to incredibly painful, ingrown toenails typically occur on the big toe. Ingrown nails occur when edges of the nail plate dig into the skin surrounding the nail, causing swelling, irritation, and even infection.  Read more about symptoms, complications and treatment of ingrown toenails.

Fungal Nails

Another common problem, toenail fungus typically does not hurt, but is more of a source of embarrassment. Many people are afraid to remove their shoes or socks for fear of exposing their thick, discolored nails.

If you suffer from toenail fungus, you have probably tried every old wives’ tale remedy and over-the-counter solution that is available. These remedies all have one thing in common: they do not work. The fungus continues to thrive, and refuses to go away as you run through the gambit of drug store options.

The problem with toenail fungus is that it lies deep under your nail, and it takes powerful antifungal medication to reach the root of the infection.

Corns and Calluses

Our feet take a beating—literally. Bony parts with thin skin, feet do not have much protection from injury, so they often must invent their own “protection” in the form of calluses and corns. Corns can be a nuisance, but they can also be a painful infection risk, as well. Over-the-counter remedies can do more harm than good, so it is always advisable to see a podiatrist for a corn that has become painful.
