Bunions and what we can do to relieve the pressure.
A bunion is a bony lump that forms on the side of the foot at the base of the big toe. It develops when the joint at the bottom of the toe becomes misaligned, causing the big toe to lean inwards towards the other toes. Over time, this misalignment makes the joint stick out, leading to swelling, redness, and pain, especially when wearing shoes that press on the area. Bunions can also cause stiffness in the big toe and, in some cases, affect the way a person walks. They are often linked to genetics, footwear that squeezes the toes, or conditions such as arthritis. Today I used this method to give my client some relief from the discomfort they had.
Hapla felt is often used in foot care to help relieve pain and pressure caused by bunions. The soft, cushioning material can be cut to shape and applied directly to the foot, creating a protective barrier that redistributes weight and reduces friction from footwear. By offloading pressure from the sore area, Hapla felt helps to ease discomfort, prevent skin irritation, and make walking more comfortable. It is particularly useful for people who are waiting for longer-term treatment, such as orthotics or surgery, and provides simple but effective short-term relief.

I’m giving my own feet some treatment this week, in the sun but remember:

Protecting your feet from the sun is just as important as protecting any other part of your body. Here’s why:

1. Skin Cancer Risk
• Feet are vulnerable to melanoma, especially the soles, sides, and even under toenails.
• Acral lentiginous melanoma, a rare but dangerous form, often appears on the feet and is harder to spot and diagnose early.

2. Sunburn
• The tops of your feet are easily sunburned, especially if you’re barefoot or in sandals.
• Burned feet can be painful, swollen, and blistered, making walking uncomfortable.

3. Skin Damage and Aging
• Long-term sun exposure causes premature aging, leathery skin, and dark spots on the feet.
• This is especially common for those who often wear open shoes or go barefoot in the sun.

4. Poor Healing
• Feet have less fatty tissue and slower circulation, especially in people with diabetes or circulatory issues.
• Sun damage or burns can take longer to heal and may lead to infections or complications.

5. We Often Forget Them
• Feet are commonly missed when applying sunscreen, leaving them exposed.
• This makes them one of the most neglected but still highly at-risk areas for sun damage.

🌞 How to Protect Your Feet:
• Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to the tops, sides, soles (if barefoot), and around toenails.
• Reapply every 2 hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
• Wear protective footwear like closed shoes or water shoes if you’re out in the sun for long periods.
• Check your feet regularly for any unusual spots, moles, or changes.

Feet may be far from your eyes—but they shouldn’t be far from your mind when it comes to sun safety.

Today, I completed a neuropathy assessment training course in Halesowen, organized by the amazing Sharon and Susan from “Foot Health Training.” The course deepened my understanding of diabetes, DVT, and vascular conditions affecting the foot and lower leg. It was both insightful and educational, and I am now able to accept clients with diabetes. If you have diabetes and would like to book an appointment, feel free to get in touch!

Fungal nail infection, also known as onychomycosis, is a condition where a fungus infects one or more of the nails, typically the toenails. It occurs when fungi, often dermatophytes, invade the nail bed and surrounding tissue, causing the nail to become discolored, thickened, and brittle. The infection can be caused by various types of fungi, including yeasts and molds.

Common symptoms of fungal nail infection include:
• Discoloration: The nail may turn white, yellow, or brown.
• Thickening: The affected nail may become thicker than normal, making it difficult to trim.
• Crumbly or brittle nails: The nail can become fragile and may break or chip easily.
• Distorted shape: The nail may become misshapen or lift from the nail bed.
• Odor: A foul smell may come from the infected nail due to the buildup of debris underneath it.

Fungal nail infections are more common in people who:
• Have sweaty feet or wear tight shoes
• Frequently walk barefoot in damp environments, such as public pools or gyms
• Have a history of athlete’s foot or other fungal skin infections
• Have a weakened immune system or diabetes

Treatment often involves antifungal medications, either topical (applied to the nail) or oral, and maintaining good foot hygiene.

Tinea pedis, commonly known as athlete’s foot, is a fungal infection that primarily affects the skin on the feet. It’s caused by dermatophytes, a type of fungus that thrives in warm, moist environments, such as the areas between the toes and the soles of the feet. The infection is highly contagious and can spread through direct contact or by coming into contact with contaminated surfaces, such as floors in changing rooms or showers.

Common symptoms of athlete’s foot include:
• Itching, burning, or stinging sensations
• Red, scaly rash, often between the toes or on the soles of the feet
• Cracking or peeling skin
• Blisters or sores that may ooze
• Dryness or flakiness on the affected areas

Athlete’s foot is more common in people who sweat a lot, wear tight-fitting shoes, or walk barefoot in public places like gyms or pools. Treatment typically involves antifungal creams, powders, or oral medications, and keeping the feet clean and dry is essential to prevent recurrence.

Using an anti fungal shoe spray is recommended to avoid recurrence.
