X-Rays
Chemotherapy
The cause of a foot fungus is usually from any one of many microscopic organisms invading the skin when there is a proper environment for there survival. There is no way of avoiding fungus and microscopic organisms. High use of chemotherapy, antibiotics, and immunosuppressive drugs make you at risk for having the fungus. Those with a compromised immune system, such as those with diabetes or HIV infection may have an increased risk as well.

Wound Care
Patients considering laser treatment options should speak with their podiatrists regarding aftercare instructions. Following wound care directions will reduce the likelihood of post-procedure complications.
Bunions
Ingrown Toenails
Though non-invasive treatment options are available, laser treatment provides many patients with relief for a variety of conditions. Individuals experiencing warts, ingrown toenails or fungus may want to discuss the availability of laser treatment methods with their podiatrists.

Frostbite
Always wear shoes at the beach or on hot pavement. Put sunscreen on the tops of your feet for protection from the sun. Keep your feet away from radiators or open fires. DO NOT use hot water bottle or heating pads on your feet. If your feet are cold, wear seamless socks at night. Lined boots are good to keep your feet warm in the winter. Choose socks carefully. DO NOT wear socks with seams or bumpy areas. Choose padded socks to protect your feet and make walking more comfortable. In cold weather, check your feet often to keep your feet warm avoid frostbite.
Calluses
The classic description of a bunion is an enlargement of the great toe joint associated with leaning of the great toe toward the adjacent toe. When a bunion becomes painful it generally due to the prominence of the joint rubbing against the shoe. However, several other problems can arise associated with having a bunion including painful calluses of the ball of the foot, pressure between the toes, and pain within the joint due to arthritis or joint derangement.
Fungus
Tinea Pedis – Tinea Pedis, also known as Athlete’s Feet, is a fungal infection on the skin. It is a disease that mostly affects adults. It is caused by microscopic organisms that can grow on many surfaces that we live around. The fungus lives on the layers of dead skin our body produces.
Psoriasis
Toenails often serve as barometers of our health; they are diagnostic tools providing the initial signal of the presence or onset of systemic diseases. For example, the pitting of nails and increased nail thickness can be manifestations of psoriasis. Concavityâ€”nails that are rounded inward instead of outwardâ€”can foretell iron deficiency anemia. Some nail problems can be conservatively treated with topical or oral medications while others require partial or total removal of the nail. Any discoloration or infection on or about the nail should be evaluated by a podiatric physician.

Ankle Sprain
Ankle fractures and strains are very common injuries because the ankle needs to support the entire weight of the human body. Orthopedists and podiatrists treat millions of ankle injuries every year.
Bunions Problems
Of the sixteen million Americans with diabetes, 25% will develop foot problems related to the disease. Diabetic foot conditions develop from a combination of causes including poor circulation and neuropathy. Diabetic Neuropathy can cause insensitivity or a loss of ability to feel pain, heat, and cold. Diabetics suffering from neuropathy can develop minor cuts, scrapes, blisters, or pressure sores that they may not be aware of due to the insensitivity. If these minor injuries are left untreated, complications may result and lead to ulceration and possibly even amputation. Neuropathy can also cause deformities such as Bunions, Hammer Toes, and Charcot Feet.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
The ADA recommends all patients being treated for diabetes be seen regularly by a foot specialist to have preventive care and monitoring.
Hammertoes
Although bunions tend to run in families, it is the foot type that is passed down not the bunion. Parents who suffer from poor foot mechanics can pass their problematic foot type on to their children, who, in turn, are also prone to developing bunions. The abnormal functioning caused by this faulty foot development can lead to pressure being exerted on and within the foot, often resulting in bone and joint deformities such as bunions and hammertoes.
Heel Spurs
A common cause of heel pain is the heel spur, a bony growth on the underside of the heel bone. The spur, visible by X-ray, appears as a protrusion that can extend forward as much as half an inch. When there is no indication of bone enlargement, the condition is sometimes referred to as “heel spur syndrome.”
Heel Pain
Foot Pain
Ingrown Toenails
If you suspect an infection due to an ingrown toenail, immerse the foot in a warm salt water soak, or a basin of soapy water, then apply an antiseptic and bandage the area.
Plantar Fasciitis
Both heel pain and heel spurs are frequently associated with an inflammation of the band of fibrous connective tissue (fascia) running along the bottom (plantar surface) of the foot, from the heel to the ball of the foot. The inflammation is called plantar fasciitis. It is common among athletes who run and jump a lot, and it can be quite painful.
Podiatric Deformities
People with certain foot deformities â€“ BUNIONS FLATFEET HAMMERTOES â€“ are at higher risk for developing a neuroma. Other potential causes are activities that involve repetitive irritation to the ball of the foot, such as running or racquet sports. An injury or other type of trauma to the area may also lead to a neuroma.
