With the warmer weather and more time at the pool, gym or beach,
fungal infections like tinea (athlete’s foot) and nail fungus are on the rise.
Common culprits of fungal infections:
• Walking barefoot in public showers
• Sharing shoes or socks
• Sweaty feet stuck in closed shoes all day
Keep your feet fresh & fungus-free:
✔ Wear thongs in communal showers
✔ Change socks daily
✔ Keep feet clean and dry
✔ Don’t share nail clippers or shoes/socks
If you’ve noticed itchy, peeling skin or discoloured nails, don’t ignore it!
Early treatment makes all the difference.
Book your podiatry appointment today - your feet will thank you!

When we think about skin checks and melanoma, most of us focus on
our face, arms, and back - but did you know melanoma can appear on
your feet and under your toenails too?
Because feet are often overlooked, melanomas here are more likely to
go unnoticed until later stages. Early detection = better outcomes.
What to look for:
• Dark streaks under toenails
• New spots or moles between the toes
• Changes in existing freckles or marks
• Wounds that don’t heal
This summer, add your feet to your regular skin check routine. If you
spot something unusual, don’t wait - get it checked.
Protect your skin, protect your future. Your feet carry you everywhere -
let’s keep them safe this summer.

Balance Awareness Week 14-20 September 2025 - Better Balance
starts from the ground up and Podiatry plays a role in keeping you
steady on your feet!
Your feet are the foundation of your balance. If they’re sore, unstable,
or not supported properly, your risk of trips and falls increases.
5 Tips for better balance:
Wear supportive, well-fitted shoes
Try simple balance exercises (like standing on one foot while
brushing your teeth or while you are cooking!)
Get your feet checked regularly – conditions like bunions, nerve
issues, or poor circulation can throw your balance off
Custom orthotics can help improve stability and confidence in
every step
Regular exercise is so important to keep you on your feet and
keep your muscles strong and steady.
Remember: Strong, healthy feet = better balance = fewer falls. Book
your foot health check – a steady step is a safe step!
