Do You Have:
Corns, Callouses and Cracked heels
* Callouses are where thick skin builds up caused by pressure or irritation to the foot or toe, usually over a larger area.
* Corns occur with pressure and torsion over a concentrated area.
* Cracked heels can occur when the skin opens up due to extreme pressure and impact.
​
We can debride the skin from these areas, and offer products and advice to discourage their return
Verrucae/Plantar Warts
Verrucae and warts are small bumps or growths in your skin.
These can be very painful - especially if they are on a weightbearing area.
Caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), they are very contagious and most common in childhood.
​
We offer a variety of treatment options including surgery, needling, low dose acid, or natural product applications
Ingrown Toenails
These can be caused by inappropriate self nail cutting or ripping, inherited nail shape, accidents or poor fitting footwear.
​
If the inflammation has occurred recently it may be a simple fix for us to remove a nail spike or cut a deformed nail.
​
If necessary though, it gives us great satisfaction to surgically correct this remarkably common and painful condition if it has become chronic.
We do this by removing a section of the nail under local anaesthetic and applying a chemical to prevent regrowth, making a permanent fix in most cases.
