Common Foot Problems
Toenail Cutting in Stornoway
Are you having difficulty cutting you toenails? Do you need help with toenail cutting in Stornoway? Please get in touch.
Ingrown Toenails
Poor nail cutting, badly fitting shoes or abnormal shaped nails, can lead to ingrown toenails. Whatever the reason, get in touch, I can help you with your ingrown toenails in Stornoway.
Treating Corns & Calluses
Hard skin can normally be managed with the correct footwear and application of creams/emollients. If you are in discomfort, suffering with pain from corns or callous, I can get you back to comfort and advise you on how to prevent reoccurrence in future.
Verrucae
A Verruca is a wart which is located on the foot. It can be painful or asymptomatic. The verruca is caused by a viral infection(HPV) and numerous treatments are available over the counter from pharmacies. Its important to get a diagnosis and ensure you have no risk factors ( diabetes, PVD and neuropathy) prior to treatment. Some treatments are more successful than others and no treatment can be guaranteed to resolve a verruca. Get in touch to get your verruca diagnosed in Stornoway and discuss a treatment plan that would work best for you.
Dry Skin
Do you feel that the skin on your feet is the roughest? Then you are not alone. But cracked heels and dry skin can be caused by numerous issues. Maybe you have just had a holiday in the sun, walking barefoot, wearing your open backed sandals and the drying effect of the sun has taken effect. First step, apply an emollient on a daily basis, this may be all you need. If you have tried that and had no success get in contact for help and advice. The cause could be down to a fungal infection or underlying skin condition.
Treating Foot Ulcers in Stornoway
A foot ulcer is a sore on your foot. Ulcer literally means loss of skin. It is important to treat your ulcer early to avoid deterioration. Continually placing your weight on it can delay healing. Offloading may be needed to aid healing. Once your ulcer has resolved it is important to eliminate the cause to prevent its reoccurrence.
Vascular Assessments in Stornoway
Are you concerned with reduced circulation, or discoloured toes. Do you get calf pain when walking (intermittent claudication) or pain in your legs in bed (rest pain)? If so, contact me for a review of your circulation in your lower limbs. Review by Doppler and Ankle Brachial Pressure Index can give an indication of peripheral arterial disease.
Diabetic Foot Checks in Stornoway
If you have diabetes or other health issues you can develop foot problems from loss of feeling or poor circulation. If you are diabetic it is important to get your feet checked yearly to identify early changes and plan any care that you need to prevent problems. An holistic assessment taking into consideration your health, medication, vision and mobility. Followed by a neurological and vascular assessment of your feet. Checking your ability to feel vibration, light touch and sharp blunt discrimination. This is to ensure you have protective sensation to enable you to detect damage to your feet. Following your assessment I will educate you on how to look after your feet to prevent issues and formulate a foot plan for you.
With your permission I would share the information with your general practitioner.
