Skin & Nail Care
Why Foot Skin & Nail Health Matters
The skin and nails of your feet do more than just “look good”. They protect you from infection, support your mobility and overall foot health. When nails become thick or discoloured, or the skin becomes dry, cracked or overloaded by pressure, it can lead to real pain or even more serious complications. At MediFoot Clinic, our experienced podiatrists assess and treat a full range of skin and nail conditions — helping you walk comfortably and confidently.
What We Treat
- Thickened, brittle or discoloured toenails (including fungal/infected nails)
- Ingrown toenails and nail-fold issues
- Corns, calluses, cracked heels and rough skin
- Blisters, athlete’s foot (tinea), plantar warts
- Dry, scaling or irritated foot skin (including eczema/psoriasis) especially in at-risk feet
What to Expect at Your Appointment
During your consultation we’ll examine your feet and nails, identify any underlying causes (such as pressure points, thick nails or foot mechanics), and work with you to create a tailored plan. Common steps include:
- Careful inspection of skin, nails, circulation and nerve function
- Safe removal of thickened or sharp nails, corns or hard skin using sterile instruments
- Advice on footwear, socks and home-care routines
- If required, referral or further investigation for fungal nails, ingrown nails or skin conditions
Prevention & Home Care
- Wash and dry your feet daily — especially between the toes
- Keep your nails trimmed straight across and not too short
- Moisturise dry skin (but avoid heavy creams between toes) to reduce cracking
- Wear shoes with a roomy toe box, breathable socks and rotate footwear
- Come in for regular check-ups if you have diabetes, poor circulation or persistent nail/skin issues
