Blisters

Blisters are caused by skin friction. Apply moleskin or an adhesive bandage over a blister, and leave it on until it falls off naturally in the bath or shower. Keep your feet dry and always wear socks as a cushion between your feet and shoes. If a blister breaks on its own, wash the area, apply an antiseptic, and cover with a sterile bandage. Sometimes blisters can be due to repetitive pressure from faulty footwear or underlying biomechanical problems.

Foot odor

Foot odor results from excessive perspiration from the more than 250,000 sweat glands in the foot. Daily hygiene is essential. Change your shoes daily to let each pair air out, and change your socks, perhaps even more frequently than daily. Foot powders and antiperspirants, and specialized shoe and socks or insoles can help lessen odor.

Corns and calluses

Corns and calluses are protective layers of compacted, dead skin cells. They are caused by repeated friction and pressure from skin rubbing against bony areas or ill-fitting shoes. Corns and calluses can be found on the toes and soles of the feet. They are generally symptoms of underlying foot disorders. The friction and pressure can be relieved by padding or orthotics on the affected areas. Our podiatrist can remove the corns and calluses with sterialised instrument and assess the cause of the pressure lesions and advise you on proper footwear and inserts.
