General Nail & Skin Care
As Podiatrists, we treat a wide range of nail and skin pathologies. Usually we can address most issues during your consulation.
Skin and nail conditions affecting the feet are a common issue seen in podiatry practice. These conditions can range from mild irritations to more serious infections and can cause significant discomfort and pain. Our experienced podiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat these conditions, helping you achieve healthy, comfortable feet.
General Nail Care
Regular nail and skin care done by a professional, in a safe sterile environment. Keeping your feet safe and nurtured. Avoiding public nail salons where a high infection risk may occurs.
Nail length and thickness is tailored to your preference and medical grade cream is applied with a touch of nutritive nail oil.
Corn & Callous Removal
During your General Treatment, the podiatrist will also use a gentle technique called ‘debridement’ were the thickened hard skin is shaved off with a scalpel. Following this you may also need a light buffing with a sanding disc. After cleansing the skin, you will also receive a deep moisturising treatment using our most popular medical grade foot product Callusan.
No matter your skin or nail condition our podiatrists will provide you with a safe and comfortable experience. Sit back and relax knowing your feet are safe in our hands.
Cracked Heels
The skin on your feet is built different. The epidermis of the plantar surface of the feet is usually thicker and tougher. When we walk a lot and put pressure on our skin, the skin thickens up. The skin around the heels is also subjected to a high tensile force.
When this thickened skin dehydrates it can lead to cracks and fissures forming. Regular care by your podiatrists along with an at home foot maintenance program is generally best approach.
Tinea Pedis
Tinea Pedis is also known as Athlete’s Foot and is found usually between the toes or around the bottoms of the feet. It can get quite itchy, and can cause the skin to break down or form tiny blisters called vesicles.
