When To See A Podiatrist For 3 Common Foot Ailments
Hours spent raking leaves or a long day spent in your high-heels can create excessive pressure and friction on your feet and toes. This ongoing and repeated pressure can lead to irritating and even painful foot conditions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], among three very common: corns,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], calluses and bunions.
Prevention is key to avoiding these three common foot problems by lessening the pressure and friction exerted on the skin. Read on to learn more about simple ways to prevent and treat calluses,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], corns and bunions as they do occur, as well as when it's best to receive professional care from your London podiatrist.
Calluses and corns are layers of hard, thickened skin that form due to excessive pressure or friction over a bony prominence. This thickening of the skin is your body's normal response to repeated pressure or friction. The main difference between the two is where they are found. A corn is simply an area of hard,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], thickened skin that can occur on the top, between,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or on the tip of the toes. A callus is similar in nature, but is larger and usually develops on the ball of the foot or on the heel.
Never attempt cutting away a corn or callus on your own,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as this can cause further damage or infection. Instead visit your podiatrist to have them removed quickly and painlessly. Your podiatrist can also advice you on how to best prevent additional corns and calluses from developing.
The following home remedies can help reduce the pressure and treat a corn or callus:
•Avoid wearing shoes that are too tight,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]; instead wear well-padded shoes with open toes or a deep toe box
•Wear thick socks to absorb pressure
•Apply petroleum jelly or foot cream to corns or calluses to soften them
•Wear pads that fit over a corn to decrease pressure and friction.
•Soak your affected foot in warm soapy water then rub the callus with a pumice stone to remove dead skin
You should always consult with your podiatrist first before treating a foot problem on your own. And if you have diabetes or poor circulation in your feet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], never try to treat corns or calluses yourself. Instead always visit a podiatrist for professional care.
With the potential to become more serious than calluses or corns, bunions present themselves as an abnormal bony prominence over the big toe joint. Caused by a misalignment of the big toe joint, the big toe generally bends toward the others,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], growing larger in size. These can become painful and stiff, prohibiting normal mobility and function. Bunions can form for various reasons, including abnormalities in foot function or arthritis,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but are more commonly caused by wearing tight and constrictive footwear.
Symptoms may or may not be associated with a bunion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but its best to see your London podiatrist if the bony prominence persist. In most cases,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bunions can be treated conservatively and permitted to heal on their own by switching to appropriate footwear or wearing shoe inserts. Generally bunions worsen over time unless the problem causing the bunion is eliminated. For severe cases of bunions, a surgical procedure may be required to remove the bunion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], alleviate the pain and restore the toe to its normal function.
Developing a corn,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], callus or bunion is normal, but can typically be avoided with prevention and proper fitting shoes. As a general rule, if it hurts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], see your podiatrists in London.相关的主题文章:
