When pressure is concentrated in a small area, a corn, which has a central core, may develop. If the pressure is not relieved, calluses and corns can become painful. Common sites of corns and calluses are the ball of the foot, under the big toe, tips and joints of the toes and any bony prominence. The body protects skin tissues from pressure and/or friction damage by producing an area of hard skin.
Ingrown toenails are generally caused by poor nail-cutting technique, abnormal nail shape or poorly fitted footwear. Do not cut nails into the corners - this can leave a spike of nail that can embed itself into or irritate the flesh next to the nail. If you do have to cut your toenails into the corners, make sure that a nail spike is not left behind.
Plantar Fasciitis (overuse of a ligament-like structure that runs underneath the length of the foot). Foot pain is usually caused by a mechanical problem with your feet such as poor foot biomechanics, muscle imbalance or restrictions, poor training techniques or incorrect footwear. In the past, it was thought that flat feet were a sign of a poorly developed or poorly structured foot.
Warts are a viral infection in the epidermal layers of the skin and are thought to be transmissible through direct contact or by walking barefooted in communal pools or showers. Warts may spread and grow in size to press on nerve endings in the skin to become quite painful. Their removal may be facilitated by the use of 'wart-paints' available from any pharmacy, or may be frozen off, needled or surgically curetted as an in office procedure.
