Diabetes and Podiatry
Report
Diabetes can affect the feet in many ways, the most common being neurological and circulatory changes. The feet have some of the most distal blood vessels and nerve endings in the body, therefore, any changes can appear in the foot early on. For this reason, diabetics are encouraged to see a Podiatrist for a diabetic foot assessment.
Ingrown Nails
Report
An ingrown nail occurs when a spike or rough edge of a toenail has pierced the skin adjacent to the nail edge. Initially, there is a little discomfort but as the nail grows, it can dig further and further in becoming more painful, inflamed and susceptible to infection. The most common cause is faulty nail cutting, pressure from ill-fitting shoes, and/or trauma from activities (such as ball sports and running).
