FAQ | What are blisters?

Blisters are small pockets of clear fluid, usually underneath the skin. They are caused mainly by friction, burns, skin reactions and form to protect and help heal damaged skin cells.

You can also get blood blisters. These formed due to damaged blood vessels in the skin; opposite to clear fluid, these are filled with blood and are typically found on any area of the foot or leg.

What causes chilblains? ❄️

Chilblains develop when the tiny blood vessels under your skin get smaller due to cold conditions; this, in turn, reduces the blood flow.

What’s the difference between heel spurs and plantar fasciitis?

There is a distinct difference between a heel spur and plantar fasciitis, but the two are closely related 🦶 A heel spur is a bony projection that occurs from the bottom of the heel along the course of the plantar fascia. It will vary in size but is usually not larger than half an inch. A heel spur may have no symptoms associated with it and is often picked up on an X-ray 👣

Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition in which there is an inflammatory process occurring where the plantar fasciitis attaches to the heel. This occurs because of an abnormal force being placed on it. Things that can cause an abnormal force are excessive weight, overuse, or wearing shoes without a supporting arch.

Corn or verruca? Corn or verruca?

A fantastic differentiation method of a verruca and a corn is observing the skin closely; the verruca virus disrupts the line patterns causing your striations to become interrupted. You may also notice that verruca tissue has small black dots, which are the verrucas blood vessels and will bleed if damaged.

An easy test to differentiate a corn from a verruca is to squeeze the skin around the lesion, medially to laterally. If the lesion is painful to embrace, then this is most probably a verruca.

Remember, whether you have a corn or a verruca, it's not advised to self diagnose and self treat. Instead, contact us to book an appointment where we can provide a correct diagnosis and treatment 📞 028 2565 4625
