I’m very happy to share the outcome of this case. Over the past 4–5 months (since late September) I’ve been managing a complex distal toe pressure lesion that presented as a deep wound with malodour, but no clinical signs of infection. On initial assessment, once the thick hyperkeratotic tissue at the distal toe was debrided, the full extent of the underlying wound was revealed.

I carried out sharp debridement and continued with structured conservative management, including regular reviews, repeat debridement where required, sterile dressings, and pressure off-loading using semi-compressed felt padding.

The area was closely monitored throughout, with steady improvement in tissue quality and wound depth over time. The patient was very cooperative and adhered well to all off-loading and care advice, which played a key role in healing.

At today’s review, the site is fully healed and pain free.Ongoing reviews will continue at a reduced frequency for maintenance and prevention. A great example of how consistent care, pressure management, and patient engagement lead to positive clinical outcomes.

Really proud of this result! Outcomes like this are exactly why I love what I do. 🤍😌

Good morning everyone,

I’ve come down with a chest infection and am on a course of antibiotics for the next 4 days.

Next week is already very busy, so I may need to move a few appointments to fit in those I missed the back end of yesterday and today. If you don’t hear from me, your appointment is still going ahead 🤍

Please take care especially my more vulnerable clients. If you’re feeling unwell, please avoid visiting care homes, hospitals, or vulnerable friends/family until you’re better. Try to avoid busy areas, keep hands sanitised, rest early, and stay hydrated. This bug is miserable and spreads easily 🦠

If you or a family member are booked in with me and would prefer to rearrange because of this, please just let me know it’s no problem at all and we can reschedule.

I’m hibernating for the weekend and keeping out of this awful weather 😷 🛁 🤧 ☕️ 🤒

Take care and Thank you for your patience.

Good morning ☀️

Just a little heads up for my lovely clients and followers….

I’m fully booked most of the time! So if you want regular appointments it’s best to rebook on the day of your appointment. We can even book two in advance to make sure you’ve always got a slot.

I don’t like to rush my work anyone who’s booked with me before knows I take a lot of care and I’m very thorough, so appointments aren’t just in-and-out. Because of this (and traffic) a 12 o’clock appointment could be anytime between 12 and 1. I’ll always let you know if I’m running late.

I’m doing it this way because I’ve been putting a lot of pressure on myself trying to rush between appointments and I want to stay as safe and stress-free as possible.

If you’re wanting an appointment within a week or two it can sometimes be possible if I’m already in your area! So please let me know in advance or if it’s an emergency I will always try my very best.

I hope everyone understands and supports this.

Abbey 🤍

As a private podiatrist, I can absolutely help with ingrown toenails from initial treatment and pain relief through to nail surgery within a safe clinical setting.

👣 🩸 🩹 🙋🏽‍♀️ 💉

NHS England reported 3,890 ingrown toenails presented at A&E last winter. Podiatrists are the experts in foot and lower limb care and can provide specialist care for ingrown nails, including minor surgery to resolve them. Check with your local NHS for podiatry access criteria or find your nearest private podiatrist at https://rcpod.org.uk/find-a-podiatrist and save A&E for the critical care.

A suitably spooky start to the day! 🎃 👻

Consent obtained.

This patient presented with a severely thickened, discoloured, and infected hallux nail, causing discomfort and pressure to the nail bed. During debridement, purulent discharge came from beneath the nail plate, indicating a localised infection.

The nail was carefully rreduced, cut back and cleansed, the area irrigated with antiseptic solution, and dressed with a sterile, non-adherent dressing to support healing and prevent reinfection.

This case highlights how chronic nail thickening or discolouration can often conceal underlying infection, reinforcing the importance of prompt professional podiatric assessment and treatment. 👣
