Tinea

Also known as Athlete’s Foot is a fungal infection of the skin. The skin on the feet may become red, itchy and/ or peel. Fungal infections thrive in warm, moist areas, just like inside your shoes. If not treated, tinea may get worse or spread to other areas. This is of particular concern if the feeling in your feet or your circulation has been affected by diabetes for example. The infection can spread to others that have contact with the infection ie showers, washing clothes or towels together.

At Healthy Feet Happy Feet, we are able to identify tinea and provide advice on treatment and future prevention.

Fungal Nails

Fungal nails are often unsightly and may become thick and cause discomfort. At Healthy Feet Happy Feet we are able to identify fungal nail infections and provide treatment advice, preventing the spread of the infection and preventing reoccurrence once resolved.

Thick Nails

Thick nails are often unsightly, uncomfortable and difficult to cut and care for. At Healthy Feet Happy Feet, we are able to provide advice and also treatment to reduce nail thickness.

Cracked/Rough Heels

Cracked, fissured or rough heels may look unsightly. Did you know that an infection entering a crack in your heel could become a serious health problem? This is of particular concern if the feeling or circulation in your feet has been affected by diabetes, for example. 


At Healthy Feet Happy Feet we will remove the rough skin and provide advice on how to prevent cracks and slow or prevent the return, keeping your heels looking healthy and smooth.

Corns

Corns are usually caused by pressure. Corns may appear under the feet, especially the balls of your feet, on the toes or even between the toes if they are pushing on one another. The area becomes hard and very painful. It may feel like a small stone or seed pushing into your skin. A corn may become a serious health problem if left untreated as the healthy skin under the corn may be damaged. 


This is of particular concern if the feeling or circulation in your feet has been affected by diabetes, for example. At Healthy Feet Happy Feet the entire corn will be removed and advice on the prevention of the corn reoccurring will be provided.




Callus

Callus (hard dead skin) occurs in areas of pressure or friction. The area may become hard and painful. Callus may become a serious health problem if left untreated as the healthy skin under the callus may be damaged. This is of particular concern if the feeling or circulation in your feet has been affected by diabetes or other health issues.

Foot & Lower Leg Pain

Heel pain/heel spurs, plantar fasciitis/ arch pain, Achilles tendon pain, ankle pain, shin pain, knee pain, clawed toes, bunions, neuromas, nerve pain, aching feet, sports injuries are all issues that we will be able to assist in treating.

Ingrown Nails

Ingrown or ingrowing toenails may be extremely painful. The area may become red, hot and swollen. Pus may be present and the area may even bleed. Sometimes an ingrowing nail may be due to a nail spike being left at the sides of the nail whilst trimming your nails. Some people have nails that just grow into the skin and some walk in a way that pushes the nail into the skin. There are many causes of ingrown nails. 


In any case, Healthy Feet Happy Feet can remove the offending piece of nail to relieve the discomfort. Advice will be provided in an attempt to prevent

re-occurrence. In cases where a permanent treatment is required and is appropriate, Healthy Feet Happy Feet clinicians will permanently remove the side of the nail causing problems under a local anaesthetic. A product is then applied to prevent the nail from regrowing.

Plantar Warts

Plantar warts are caused by a virus that enters the skin. They may be painful when pressure is applied to the area whilst walking or weight bearing. Warts often spread. Plantar warts may be stubborn to treat therefore the earlier you seek treatment, the quicker resolution will be. Healthy Feet Happy Feet will identify the plantar wart and prescribe the most appropriate treatment for your case.

Children’s Feet

Foot, heel, ankle and lower leg pain, abnormal walking patterns, frequent tripping and falling, footwear advice, toe-walking, in-toeing, flat feet, bunions, warts and nail problems are all issues that our clinicians will be able to treat at Healthy Feet Happy Feet.

Diabetes Foot Care

Diabetes may affect the feeling and/ or circulation in your feet. At Healthy Feet, Happy Feet a thorough diabetes foot assessment will be undertaken at least every 12 months. Your blood flow will be checked with a Doppler ultrasound if required and the feeling/ protective sensation in your feet will also be checked.

Footwear and foot care advice will be provided. If any changes are noted, our clinicians at Healthy Feet Happy Feet will advise you on how to care for your feet, to prevent any diabetic foot complications.
