Skin & Nail Conditions

Our appointments cater to individuals who are experiencing issues with their feet, whether it’s something you’ve been managing for a while or something that’s only recently started to cause trouble. 

Sometimes, people find it difficult to properly care for their feet due to physical limitations. For example, individuals with back problems may not be able to comfortably reach their feet to trim nails or take care of calluses and corns. This can make simple foot care tasks feel overwhelming or even impossible. At Foot Focus, we are here to help in these situations. Our team of experts can assist in treating your feet, ensuring that you receive the care you need without the strain of trying to do it yourself. 

When it comes to skin and nail treatments, we aim to address your immediate concerns while also offering long-term solutions to help prevent further discomfort. Whether it’s damaged nails, ingrown toenails, or any other skin issues, our podiatrists will assess your condition thoroughly and provide the most suitable treatment plan for you. We understand that these problems can be recurring, which is why we offer ongoing advice on how to manage them effectively at home to avoid further complications. 

Hard skin is another common issue that many people face. Over time, the skin on your feet can build up, especially in areas where there is a lot of pressure or friction. This can lead to the formation of calluses, which can become thick and uncomfortable. In addition to calluses, corns are also a common skin condition that many people struggle with. Corns develop from constant friction or pressure, often caused by ill-fitting shoes or abnormal foot mechanics. While these conditions might seem like a minor nuisance, they can lead to significant discomfort and even cause pain if left untreated. 

For calluses and corns, we provide immediate relief during your appointment. By removing or smoothing down the hard skin, we help reduce the pressure and irritation that can lead to pain. We know that these issues can reappear, but rest assured, our team will provide expert advice on how to manage them effectively moving forward. We’ll guide you on choosing the right footwear, improving your foot hygiene, and using any necessary treatments to prevent these conditions from coming back. 

In some cases, corns and calluses will continue to reoccur, especially if the underlying cause isn’t addressed. This is where we can help you with long-term strategies to keep the problem from resurfacing. We’ll give you specific advice on how to prevent the build-up of hard skin and how to avoid the friction or pressure that causes corns and calluses in the first place. For example, we may suggest using padding or insoles to protect sensitive areas of your feet, or we might recommend specific creams or moisturisers to keep your skin soft and supple. 

At Foot Focus, we are committed to providing personalised care to help you feel your best. We understand the impact that skin and nail conditions can have on your overall foot health, and we work with you to ensure that you not only get relief in the short term but also have the knowledge and tools to manage your foot health in the future. Our team is here to support you every step of the way, offering expert treatments and guidance that will keep you moving comfortably and pain-free.
