Does it feel like you’re constantly stepping on a stone?
That sharp pain in your foot could be more than hard skin, it might be a verruca.

Verrucas can become painful when pressure pushes them deeper into the skin, especially on weight-bearing areas like the heel or ball of the foot.

At Foot Corner Ashford, we see this all the time, verrucas that start small but gradually become sore, tender, or irritating when you walk.
If it’s getting bigger, spreading, or hasn’t improved with shop-bought treatments, it’s worth getting it checked before it becomes harder to treat.

If your verruca is painful or persistent, our podiatrists can assess it and recommend the most effective options, including microwave therapy, cryotherapy and gentle debridement.

Relief often starts with the very first appointment and you don’t have to keep putting up with pain.

❄️ Cold feet every morning? It might not be your heating — it could be your socks.

Not all socks keep your feet warm. In winter, cotton holds moisture and actually makes your toes colder.

The best winter choices are:
• Merino wool – warm without bulk
• Thermal TOG-rated socks – for very cold days
• Bamboo – soft, breathable and great for sensitive skin
• Double-layer walking socks – perfect for outdoor activity

The right pair can prevent chilblains, reduce cold-related pain and keep your feet comfortable all day.

If you’re noticing cold toes, numbness or red, itchy patches this winter, Foot Corner Ashford can help assess circulation and protect your skin. Stay warm, stay comfortable and let us help keep your feet healthy this season.

❄️ Cold toes this winter? It might not be just cold feet…
Many people mistake early chilblains for normal winter chill.

Cold feet happen when circulation slows.
Chilblains happen when cold skin warms too fast, causing red, purple, itchy or painful patches.
We’re seeing more of both at Foot Corner, Ashford as temperatures drop.

Our podiatrists can assess your symptoms.

You’ll understand exactly what’s causing your symptoms.
We’ll help you feel more comfortable this winter.
And you’ll have the reassurance of expert, local foot care you can trust.

Struggling with a painful or recurring ingrown toenail? You’re not alone and choosing the right treatment can make all the difference. Many people ask whether Onyfix nail correction system or Partial Nail Removal is better… so here’s the truth.

At Foot Corner in Ashford, Surrey we use both treatments, but they work in very different ways.
Onyfix is brilliant for curved or ingrowing nails that aren’t infected. It gently guides the nail to grow straighter over time completely pain-free.

But if your nail is repeatedly infected, swollen, or causing constant pain, Onyfix may only offer temporary relief.
That’s when Partial Nail Avulsion (PNA) becomes the better option.
It removes just the small troublesome section of nail and prevents it from growing back giving a reliable, long-term fix.

Choosing the right treatment means faster healing, less pain and no more repeated infections.
If you’re unsure which option is right for your nail, we’ll assess it and give honest, professional guidance so you can finally get lasting relief.

When was the last time you really looked at your feet?

They might not just tell you how far you’ve walked — they could also reveal what’s happening inside your body. From changes in skin colour to tingling or swelling, your feet often show the first signs of underlying health issues long before other symptoms appear.

At Foot Corner in Ashford, we often see patients who book in for something small — like dry skin, discoloured nails, or cold toes — only to discover these are early signs of circulation problems, diabetes, or nerve irritation.

Because your feet are furthest from your heart, they can reveal issues with blood flow, nerve function, or even your immune system.
Cold feet, tingling, swelling, or slow-healing cuts are all signals your body might need a little extra care.

By paying attention to your feet, you can take early action and protect your overall health.
Our podiatrists are here to help you understand what’s normal and what might need attention — so small changes don’t become big problems.

At Foot Corner in Ashford, we use microwave therapy — a modern treatment that works with your body to clear verrucas from the inside out.

It uses controlled microwave energy to heat the affected tissue for just a few seconds. This triggers your immune system to recognise and fight off the virus causing the verruca — without damaging the surrounding skin.

Most patients notice improvement after just a few sessions, and there’s no need for daily creams or dressings.

Imagine finally walking barefoot again — free from pain and embarrassment.

If you’ve tried other treatments with no success, microwave therapy could be your game-changer.

Think tighter football boots mean better ball control? Many young players do — but their toes would disagree!

At Foot Corner, we often see ingrown toenails and bruised nails caused by boots that are just too snug. When the toes are constantly squashed against the end of the boot, nails start digging into the skin, leading to pain, infection, and missed match time.

A proper fit should feel secure but never tight — leave a thumb’s width between the longest toe and the end of the boot. If your child’s toes are sore or nails look red or swollen, let our podiatrists take a look before it sidelines their game.

Not all verruca treatments rely on harsh chemicals or freezing.

Microwave therapy uses your body’s own defences to remove the infection over time. It’s a gradual, natural process — no dressings, no downtime, just steady improvement.

Understanding your treatment options empowers you to choose what feels right for your skin and lifestyle.

Ever wondered why some verrucas just don’t respond to treatment?

Many surface treatments only remove the visible skin, leaving the virus beneath untouched. Microwave therapy works differently — it encourages your body’s immune system to recognise and clear the virus naturally.

Knowing how treatments work helps you make informed decisions about your care. Sometimes, the best results come from helping your body help itself.
