Common Foot Problems
Fungal Infections, such as athlete's foot, happen because our feet are in shoes most of the time. Shoes are warm, dark, and moist-the perfect place for fungus to grow. A fungus can cause dry skin, redness, blisters, itching, and peeling.
To prevent infections:
1. Keep your feet clean and dry. Be sure to dry the area between your toes.
2. Change your shoes and socks or stockings often to help keep your feet dry.
3. Don't buy tight shoes.
4. Dust your feet and shoes every day with Gehwol Medicated Foot Powder.
5. Use Gehwol Foot Cream Blue or Foot Cream Green everyday.
Dry skin can cause itching and burning feet. Everyday use a mild soap to clean your feet and apply Gehwol Med Salve Foot Cream .
Corns and calluses are caused by pressure when the bony parts of your feet rub against your shoes. Wearing shoes that fit better or using special pads may help.
Ingrown toenails are caused by a piece of the nail breaking the skin. This can happen if toenails are not cut properly: straight across so the corner of the nail can be seen above the skin. Ingrown toenails are very common in the large toes. Our foot care specialist can help!
Bunions develop when the joints in your big toe no longer fit together. They become swollen and tender. Bunions tend to run in families. If a bunion is not too painful, wearing shoes cut wide at the toes and instep (middle part of the foot), taping the foot, or wearing pads that cushion the bunion may help. Physical therapy and shoe inserts can bring relief.
Hammertoe is caused by a shortening of the tendons that control toe movements. The toe knuckle grows and pulls the toe back. Over time, the joint gets bigger and stiffens as it rubs against shoes. This can affect your balance. More space in the shoe or stocking can help. In very serious cases, surgery may be needed.
Spurs are calcium bumps that grow on bones of your feet. They are caused by stress on the feet. Standing for long periods of time, wearing badly fitting shoes, or being overweight can make spurs worse. Sometimes spurs are painless. At other times, they can hurt. Treatments for spurs are foot supports, heel pads, and heel cups. Sometimes surgery is needed.
Swollen feet may be a sign of more serious health problems. If you continue to have swollen feet and ankles, see your doctor.
