Podiatry Services available from Samantha Hatton in Middlewich Cheshire
General Foot Care
Hard skin, corns and callus mainly build up over high-pressure areas on the feet. Samantha can skillfully treat these areas using a scalpel blade to remove the hardened skin. Hence this provides comfort and improves overall appearance.
Samantha will offer tailored advice on preventing a reoccurrence of your problem and on the use of in-shoe appliances/ cushioning devices to help.
Treatment for thickened, ingrown and fungal nails
Samantha can thin down thickened nails so they feel more comfortable and also improve their appearance.
She can cut back ingrown nails to make them feel more comfortable and also give you advice about nail surgery which can provide a more permanent solution.
Fungal nails are often unsightly and can become uncomfortable if the nail plate becomes thickened. Samantha can thin down the affected nails and give advice about the use of antifungal preparations.
To confirm if you have a fungal nail infection or there is another cause for your toenail problems, Samantha can perform 5-minute fungal nail testing.
She is also trained in Lacunar fungal nail treatment if you decide to try this treatment option.
Cracked heels
Hard skin can build up around the heel area and can then start to crack. As well as being unsightly these cracks can become very deep, causing bleeding and pain.
Samantha can skillfully treat these areas using a scalpel blade to remove the hardened skin. She can also recommend specialist creams and treatments that can improve the overall condition of the skin and prevent recurrence.
Verrucae
Verrucae are warts that can be found anywhere on the foot. They are harmless but can become painful if they develop on weight-bearing areas. There is evidence to suggest that most verrucae will eventually disappear of their own accord within 2 years.
A verruca can be made to feel more comfortable by reducing overlying hard skin and advice can be given on the correct use of home treatments.
Alternatively, podiatrists can use stronger acid-based treatments – these are higher in strength than over the counter preparations and are applied to the skin at weekly intervals.
Foot ulcers and wounds
There are many factors that prevent foot ulcers and wounds from healing. These include pressure and friction to the area, poor circulation and general health problems.
After a thorough assessment, a podiatrist can identify these influencing factors and develop a suitable treatment regime. Treatment may involve the use of specialist dressings, padding and footwear advice.
