It sounds obvious, but Podiatrists specialise in curing a number of minor foot related ailments including nail conditions, fungal infections and skin lesions, as well as more serious complaints such as diabetic ulcers and bone deformations.
If you bury your head in the sand and ignore seemingly minor foot complaints, they can quickly transform into major complaints that affect your whole life. For example, if bunions are left untreated in the early stages, they can worsen to a stage where the patient is unable to wear normal shoes and surgery is needed to correct the bone structure. Further complications such as toe displacement and arthritis are also relatively common if late stage bunions are left to develop.
