You would imaging using the same device over and over again would cause wear and tear. This is the case for your feet, and it turns out it is very common to experience these foot conditions. Here are the most common 5.
Heel pain can be debilitating, affecting walking and posture. The most common cause is plantar fasciitis, when the ligament that runs under the heel becomes swollen. It can affect anyone at any age, but is most common in those in their 40s or in athletes.
A fungal infection that commonly affects dry, flaky areas, like the heel – but can also occur on moist areas of skin, such as between the toes. Walking barefoot around swimming pools or wearing the same shoes continuously may make you more likely to pick it up.
A bony lump on the side of your foot where the big toe excessively angles towards the second toe. Although anyone can get a bunion, they tend to be more common in women.
Corns and calluses
Hard, thickened areas of skin, caused in response to rubbing, friction or pressure on the skin. They can affect anyone, but may be caused by badly fitting shoes or a biomechanical irregularity in your feet. • Moisturising cream may help soften the thickened skin. If your corns and calluses hard, thickened areas of skin become inflamed or troublesome please contact our rooms.
Ingrowing toenails develop when the side of a toenail pierces through the flesh of your toe, making it red, inflamed and painful. It most commonly affects the big toe, particularly effecting people who cut their nails incorrectly leaving small spikes of nail behind. Sporty people are more prone because they are likely to get moist, sweaty feet – this can make the skin around the toenails softer and easier for a nail to pierce.
