Top Foot Skin Problems a Podiatrist Can Treat – And How to Prevent Them

Our feet are frequently the most overlooked part of our bodies, despite the fact that they are constantly subjected to pressure, friction, and exposure.  Over time, this can lead to common foot skin issues like dryness, fungal infections, warts, or cracked heels. At DG Podiatrist, our specialist foot skin care podiatrist helps diagnose, treat, and prevent these issues for long-term comfort.

Common Foot Skin Conditions

Here are some of the most frequent issues we treat:

  • Athlete’s Foot: Itching, redness, and scaling will be caused due to an infectious fungal illness.

  • Corns and Calluses: Due to friction or pressure, skin thickens.

  • Plantar Warts: Caused by HPV virus, often painful and stubborn.

  • Cracked Heels: Especially common in dry climates or among people who stand a lot.

  • Eczema and Dermatitis: Allergic reactions or chronic skin conditions that cause inflammation and dryness.
