SKIN DISORDERS
Healthy Skin Starts from the Ground Up
The feet are prone to various skin conditions, including athlete’s foot, plantar warts, corns, calluses, blisters, and fungal or bacterial infections. These issues can cause discomfort, itching, peeling, odor, or pain—and may worsen over time if not properly treated. Because the skin on the feet endures constant pressure, friction, and exposure to moisture, it’s especially vulnerable to infection and irritation. Our team offers expert evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment options tailored to your condition. From prescription medications and topical therapies to debridement or preventative care, we focus on restoring healthy skin and preventing recurrence—so your feet stay comfortable, protected, and problem-free.
Athlete’s Foot
Athlete’s foot is a skin disease caused by a fungus. It most commonly attacks the feet because shoes create a warm, dark, and humid environment that encourages fungus growth.
Corns and Calluses
Corns and calluses are areas of thickened skin that develop to protect that area from irritation. They are usually caused by rubbing or excess pressure against part of the foot.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is caused by a faster-than-normal turnover of skin cells. In people who have psoriasis, the new cells move to the surface so rapidly that the dead cells build up on the surface in dry, whitish-silver patches.
Skin Cancers of the Feet
Skin cancer can develop anywhere on the body, including in the lower extremities. Most skin cancers of the feet are painless, and often there is a history of recurrent cracking, bleeding, or ulceration.
Sweaty Feet
Excessive sweating of the feet is called hyperhidrosis. People whose feet sweat excessively often also have problems with excessive sweating of the palms.
Warts
Warts are one of several soft tissue conditions of the foot that can be quite painful. They are caused by a virus and can appear anywhere on the skin.
