A corn is an inverted cone of hard skin which grows into the tissue. If left alone it can grow deeper leading to discomfort and pain. This can seriously affect the way we walk leading to knee, hip and back problems.

The hard skin on the heel tends to crack and produce fissures that can sometimes bleed. It can be painful when walking and lead to infections. Callus and Hard Skin are one of the most common problems seen by podiatrists. 

The nails become thickened and brittle with a distinctive yellow/brown colour and eventually begin to crumble. Early treatment is recommended to ensure that treatment is succesful

 Verruca's can be very painful but the good news is we have a wide range of ways of treating this problem. Warts and Verrucae skin infections are caused by a virus. They can appear anywhere on the skin with the feet and hands being the most common.

In-growing nails are basically nails that grow into the skin around the nail, making the toe painful. They can sometimes become swollen, red, infected and have a mixture of yellowy liquid and blood coming from the painful area. They should be treated as soon as possible.

Cosmetic Nail Correction using LCN WILDE PEDIQUE allows a toe nail to be partially or completely restored providing an attractive cosmetic result. 

The gel is layered directly onto the nail bed and onto any remaining/present nail

Diabetes increases your risk of foot complications, which is why it is recommended to have a diabetes foot assessment preformed by a podiatrist and ongoing podiatry care if necessary.“ Every 20 seconds a lower limb amputation takes place due to diabetes” . The importance of footsore in diabetes is paramount.

Spotting the early symptoms of common child deformities /diseases like in-toeing, flat feet, knocked knees or even verruca is essential. As adults when we have pain it can be very stressful, but worries for your children's health can be of much greater concern. At Cheshire Podiatry we understand this.
