Foot Care Assessment

Foot Care Assessment

We specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of foot and lower limb conditions, including corn, calluses, dry skin, ingrown toenails and cracked heels. At your first appointment, we will offer:

  • Examination: We will perform a thorough examination of the feet to understand the specific issues, including the thickness of callus, presence of corns, and the extent of dry skin or cracks.
  • Medical History: Understanding the patient’s medical history, including diabetes or vascular issues, which could affect foot health.
  • Debridement: We will use specialised tools to safely remove corns and calluses, reducing discomfort and preventing further complications.
  • Moisturisation: Recommendations for appropriate moisturisers or topical treatments to keep the skin hydrated, especially for dry skin and cracked heels.
  • Footwear Advice: we can provide advice on proper footwear, including recommending shoes that fit well and provide adequate support to reduce pressure points that cause corns and calluses.
  • Regular Exfoliation: we may advise you to gently exfoliate your feet regularly to manage callus and dry skin.
  • Daily Foot Care Routine: This could include washing feet thoroughly, moisturising daily, and avoiding walking barefoot to reduce skin trauma.
  • Orthotics: Custom insoles or pads may be prescribed to reduce pressure on specific areas of the foot, preventing the formation of corns and calluses.
  • Padding: Soft padding can be used under the foot where there are pressure points to relieve discomfort.
  • Regular Check-Ups: We offer regular foot care appointments that can help manage and monitor foot health.
  • Patient Education: we will discuss the importance of proper foot care, and recognising early signs of problems to prevent severe conditions.

If necessary,we may refer you to other healthcare professionals for underlying conditions or onward management of your foot complaint
