June is National Safety Month and at Texas Foot Specialists we want to take this opportunity to talk to our patients about an issue that is particularly important to the safety of your feet: using a power mower.

Your body will go through many changes in the next nine months and some of them will affect your feet.

An ingrown nail occurs when the nail curves down and begins to grow back into the skin surrounding the nail bed.

Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, although it is highly treatable if caught in the earliest stages.

Osteoporosis is a disease where a person’s bones are weak and brittle and have a high risk of breaking.

One condition we at Texas Foot Specialists find that patients want to get rid of as quickly as possible is plantar warts. Not only are they unsightly, since they usually occur on the bottom of your feet, plantar warts can cause pain when you walk especially as they grow larger.

Are you experiencing pain, burning or numbness in the ball of your foot? Do you feel like there’s a rock in your shoe or your sock is bunched up when you walk? If yes, you may have a condition known as Morton’s Neuroma.

As children pass through adolescence, smelly feet may seem to just as normal as messy rooms and pimples but at Texas Foot Specialists we want parents to know that severe foot odor is not normal.

A condition that we often see at Texas Foot Specialists is hammertoe. Named because of its appearance, the tell tale sign of this deformity is a bend in the toe joint (most often the second, third or fourth toe) causing it to resemble a hammer.

Red, scaly skin that’s dry and itchy are the primary signs of athlete’s foot, a condition we see often at Texas Foot Specialists. This fungal infection is spread by direct contact with the fungi and it thrives in dark, damp places.
