🦶 Ingrown toenails — small edge, big pain!

An ingrown toenail develops when the nail grows into the surrounding skin instead of straight ahead. It can cause pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes even infection if left untreated.

👣 Common causes:

Cutting nails too short or rounding the edges

Tight or narrow footwear

Injury or pressure from sports or standing long hours

Natural nail shape or genetic tendency

⚠️ Typical signs include:

Pain or tenderness along the nail edge

Red, swollen skin or signs of infection (pus, warmth)

Difficulty wearing shoes or walking comfortably

✨ At PodoSkin, we offer:

Professional conservative care for early-stage ingrown nails

Partial or total nail surgery (PNA/TNA) under local anaesthetic for recurring or severe cases

Sterile and painless procedure, performed by a qualified podiatrist

👣 Don’t suffer in silence. Early treatment means faster healing and lasting comfort.

🦶 Why do calluses form?

Calluses are your body’s natural way of protecting the skin from too much pressure or friction. When an area of your foot is constantly rubbed. For example, by tight shoes, abnormal walking patterns or uneven weight distribution. The skin responds by thickening.

Over time, this extra layer of hard skin can become uncomfortable and even painful if not cared for properly.

👣 Common causes:

Poorly fitting shoes or high heels

Flat feet or high arches

Uneven gait or posture

Standing or walking for long periods

Lack of regular foot care

✨ Tip: Regular professional foot care helps remove thickened skin safely and prevent calluses from returning — keeping your feet smooth, pain-free, and healthy.

🦠 Fungal infections love one thing: moisture!

Fungi thrive in warm, damp environments — which makes your shoes and socks the perfect place for them to grow. When feet stay moist for too long, tiny cracks in the skin or around the nails can become the ideal entry point for infection.

👣 Common causes:

Wearing the same shoes every day

Sweaty feet or non-breathable footwear

Walking barefoot in public places (like gyms or swimming pools)

Not drying between the toes properly

⚠️ Signs you might have a fungal infection:

Itching, burning, or peeling skin between the toes

White, yellow, or brown discolouration of the nails

Thickened, brittle, or crumbly nails

Unpleasant odour or mild redness

✨ Tip: Keep your feet clean and dry, change socks daily, and let your shoes air out. If you notice any of the above signs — don’t wait! Early treatment prevents the infection from spreading and speeds up recovery.
