Step Forward Pain-Free
Expert Corns, Calluses & Skin Conditions Treatment At The White Hart Clinic
Skin conditions of the feet affect the appearance, texture, and overall health of the skin. They can develop for a variety of reasons, including pressure, friction, infection, underlying health conditions or natural changes over time.
People who are older, have poor circulation, diabetes or spend a lot of time on their feet are more likely to experience skin issues.
Common signs include dryness, cracking, thickening, redness, pain, itching or the formation of corns, calluses or warts. While some issues may seem minor, they can become uncomfortable, difficult to manage and may lead to infection if left untreated.
Common skin conditions we treat:
- Corns and Calluses: Thickened areas of skin caused by pressure or friction, which can become painful if left untreated
- Plantar Warts (Verrucae): Small, rough growths on the soles of the feet caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV)
- Dry, Cracked or Thickened Skin: Common in older adults or those with poor circulation, diabetes or eczema
- Athlete’s Foot (Tinea Pedis): Fungal infection causing redness, itching, peeling, and sometimes blisters
- Blisters: Fluid-filled pockets caused by friction or pressure, which can become infected if not properly managed
- Heel Fissures: Deep cracks in the heel that can be painful and prone to infection
- Skin Infection (Paronychia or Cellulitis): Infection around the nail or deeper in the skin that may require professional treatment
- Routine Care for High-Risk Patients: Management of skin conditions in people with diabetes, poor circulation or reduced mobility to prevent complications
