Your foot’s skin is unique— it contains some of the body’s most sensitive skin as well as the thickest skin— and require special care and attention. The skin on the bottom of the heel is the thickest of the body. Bearing incredible weight and pressure every day, this skin can become even thicker and suffer painful cracks if you don’t take care of it. On top of your feet is some of the body’s thinnest and most pliable skin. Skin problems that can affect the feet include blisters, corns, calluses, warts, and fungal or skin infections. These conditions can be painful and debilitating, so it pays to care for the skin on your feet.
You’re feet aren’t supposed to hurt, nor are they supposed to hurt you. Skin problems, bunions, fungal nails, heel pain, hammertoes— there’s no reason to suffer with them any longer. Visit your local podiatrist. SHENANDOAH PODIATRY treats patients of all ages for all kinds of podiatric problems, from minor to major to the prevention of both. Feet are our business, and our practice is designed with you, our patient, in mind.
Dedicated To Your Healthy Feet,
