Skin Conditions

A patient came in complaining about an itchy red rash on his foot. He also noted that it could get highly sensitive when touched. Since the pain was keeping him from jumping high and performing well, he was advised by his basketball coach to not return to practice unless he gets it sorted out.  Now he can finally return to practice and jump his way to the finals.

We offer a variety of services to treat common skin conditions. We encourage you to learn more about what we provide and how we can help:

  • Athlete’s FootAthlete’s foot often first appears as an itchy red rash, typically beginning between the fourth and fifth toe. If left untreated, the skin may become highly sensitive to the touch. If allowed to progress, the condition can result in white, peeling skin. There are anti-fungal athlete’s foot treatments available over the counter, but it can benefit you to have your condition diagnosed by your trusted podiatrist first, especially if it has come back a few times.
  • Calluses and Corns: The human body is incredibly adaptable, and corns and calluses are just one way your body defends you. While slightly different from each other, corns and calluses stem from the same root cause. They are both thick patches of skin that develop to protect you when the skin is subjected to excessive friction and pressure, but they can become problems themselves, particularly for diabetics or anyone with compromised circulation.
