If you find that your feet are causing you some problems, that might be a clear sign that you need to see a professional, ideally a foot health practitioner.
These are a few of the issues you may be noticing with your feet before you choose to get in touch.
Toe Trouble
Whether it's your toes, or the skin underneath that's causing you some problems, they can both cause extreme pain if you find it's an ingrown toenail or a fungal infection. This is something that you would go to a foot health practitioner to sort, and the sooner the better if the pain is worsening.
Fungal Infections
Fungal infections might be causing you pain, especially in warmer, moist conditions - which can commonly be down to the wrong shoes or socks. A common fungal infection is Athlete's foot which is a nasty infection that won't go away without professional help.
Lumps, Bumps & Calluses
If you notice hard patches of skin on your feet, this may be corns, warts, bunions or calluses. These may cause you pain or irritation and will require pain relief or a foot health professional to have a look at it.
Diabetes
If you suffer with diabetes, you may find you have a lot of problems occur with your feet, some of which include circulation problems, fluid retention, ulcers, bacterial infections and much more. Regular check up's with a professional can eliminate some of these issues before they become anything serious.
Swelling & Redness
Redness and swelling can be a sign of injury or arthritis, something that should be looked over. Swelling and tingling can indication circulation issues, which should be checked over by a foot specialist.
