Dip Your Toes In At Optimise Health.
Skin and nail conditions can leave sufferers embarrassed and reluctant to seek treatment, but trust us: We’ve seen it all, and there’s no need for embarrassment! Skin and nail conditions are much more common than many people think, and they don’t deserve the stigma they’ve been given. Addressing any skin or nail condition you have is the first step to donning your thongs without fear.
Skin And Nail Conditions.
Fungal Nail
Fungal nail is a common nail infection that can affect fingernails and toenails. It can also affect several nails at a time. Fungal nail infections usually begin as a white or yellow to brown spot under the tip of a nail and can cause nails to become thick, discoloured, and misshapen.
Tinea
Tinea, also known as athlete’s foot, is caused by the same organisms that cause fungal nail infections. It becomes tinea when the fungus infects the areas between your toes rather than just the toenails. Tinea can affect any part of the body, though the feet and nails are common areas for it to grow.
Ingrown Toenails
People with curved or wide toenails are most susceptible to ingrown toenails, which occurs when the nail grows into the skin that surrounds it. This can lead to red and/or swollen toes, as well as pain.
Corns And Calluses
Corns and calluses are usually caused by friction and pressure as a result of the skin trying to protect itself. They’re most commonly found on the tops and side of the feet as well as between the toes.
Plantar Warts
These small, rough, and often painful spots are relatively common and typically appear on the heel or ball of the feet. If left untreated, they can last for several years for adults and between a few months and a few years for children.
