- Toenail Cutting.
- Many people just can't get down to their feet themselves,
for example if they have back troubles or have arthritis, so it is helpful
to get someone to cut their toenails for them.
-
- Ingrowing Toenails.
- This is a painful condition often caused by wrongly
cutting a toenail and leaving a sharp piece of nail that punctures the
side of toe. It can also be caused by damage to the nail. Sometimes
these become infected and can cause great distress.
-
- Corns.
- A corn is a collection of hard skin that is often
cone shaped and goes beneath the surface of the healthy skin, and presses
on the underlying nerve endings and often hurts. They can be caused
by pressure and friction. Thankfully they are often easily removed.
-
- Callouses.
- This is a larger patch of hard skin that goes over
the surface of the healthy skin. These are also caused by pressure and
friction. People who spend a lot of time on their feet are most susceptible
to them.
-
- Verrucae.
- Verrucae are warts. They are caused by a virus,
are contagious and can be very painful. Children and younger adults
are most at risk from them. They can resolve spontaneously but many
require treatment as they are apt to spread throughout the foot. These
are frequently caught at swimming pools and communal showers. We have
a variety of options for treatment, the most popular amongst our patients
is Cryosurgery using the CryoPen. This is freezes the verrucae, and
is fast and effective.
- Orthotics.
- We are able to prescribe Orthotics (arch supports)
for our patients, to help them with various gait problems and aches
and pains in the feet, legs and back.
- Athlete's Foot.
- This is a fungal infection. It can be very itchy
and sore. It can spread easily and should be treated by an anti fungal
cream / powder.
- Surgery.
- We have a comfortable surgery located at
The Jessup Clinic, 93 High Road, Gorleston,
Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. NR31 0PA.
