When should I call a doctor

People call a doctor of podiatry for help diagnosing and treating a wide array of foot and ankle problems. Please contact our office if you experience one of the following:

  • Persistent pain in your feet or ankles.
  • Changes in the nails or skin on your feet.
  • Severe cracking, scaling, or peeling on your feet.
  • Blisters on your feet.
  • Increased pain, swelling, redness, tenderness, or heat.
  • An itchy white, soft rash between your toes.
  • Painful corns or calluses.
  • Red streaks extending from a reddened region.
  • Discharge or pus from an area on the foot.
  • Foot or ankle symptoms that do not improve after two weeks of treatment with a nonprescription product.
  • Spreading of an infection from one area of the foot to another, such as under the nail bed, skin under the nail, the nail itself, or the surrounding skin.
  • Any "beauty marks" that change - for example, get larger, change colors, become irregular, start to itch, bleed, ....
  • Thick toenails that cause discomfort.
  • Heel pain accompanied by a fever, redness (sometimes warmth), or numbness.
  • Tingling or burning in the feet.
  • Diabetes.
  • And, believe it or not, sometimes we can help chronic back pain.
