Skin Problems: Corns, Calluses, Warts, Sores, and Ulcers
The skin on our feet is essential for providing protection and support, but it’s also prone to various issues that can cause discomfort or lead to serious complications. At Southwest Foot Care & Associates, we specialize in diagnosing, treating, and preventing skin problems affecting the feet. Whether you’re dealing with corns, calluses, warts, sores, or ulcers, our mobile foot care services bring expert care directly to your home or facility.
Corns and Calluses
Corns and calluses develop as a result of repeated friction or pressure on the skin. While these thickened patches of skin are the body’s way of protecting itself, they can cause pain, tenderness, and discomfort, especially when walking.
- Corns are usually small and concentrated, often forming on the toes.
- Calluses are larger, thicker patches that usually appear on the soles of the feet.
Warts
Warts are small growths caused by a viral infection in the skin (commonly the human papillomavirus, or HPV). When warts develop on the bottom of the feet (plantar warts), they can be particularly painful due to the pressure from walking or standing. These growths often appear as rough, grainy skin with small black dots (clotted blood vessels).
Sores and Ulcers
Sores and ulcers are open wounds or lesions that form on the skin and can be extremely dangerous if left untreated. They are especially common in individuals with diabetes, poor circulation, or reduced sensation in their feet. Ulcers may develop due to pressure, injuries, or infections, and they carry a high risk of complications, such as deep infections or tissue damage.
Why Proper Care is Essential
Untreated skin problems can lead to serious issues, such as infections, mobility challenges, and reduced quality of life. This is especially true for individuals with conditions like diabetes, arthritis, or poor circulation, where even minor skin issues can escalate quickly. Seeking professional treatment early is key to avoiding complications and ensuring proper foot health.
