Common Foot Skin Disorders

Foot skin disorders are prevalent and can arise from various factors, including infections, chronic diseases, and environmental influences. Here are some common conditions we treat:

Athlete’s Foot (Tinea Pedis)

A fungal infection characterized by itching, burning, and cracked skin, often between the toes. It thrives in warm, moist environments and is highly contagious.

Plantar Warts

Caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), these growths appear on the soles of the feet and can cause discomfort or pain when walking.

Eczema

This chronic condition leads to red, itchy, and inflamed skin. When it affects the feet, it can cause significant discomfort and may be exacerbated by certain footwear or environmental factors.

Psoriasis

An autoimmune disorder resulting in thick, scaly patches on the skin. On the feet, psoriasis can be particularly painful and may crack or bleed.

Contact Dermatitis

An allergic reaction causing redness, itching, and blisters upon contact with irritants or allergens, such as certain soaps, fabrics, or chemicals.

Our Comprehensive Treatment Approach

At Four Peaks Foot & Ankle, we offer personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s specific condition and needs. Our approach includes:

Accurate Diagnosis

Identifying the exact cause of your skin disorder is crucial. Our experienced podiatrists conduct thorough examinations and, if necessary, perform skin biopsies or cultures to determine the underlying issue.

Customized Treatment Plans

Based on the diagnosis, we develop a treatment strategy that may include:

• Topical Medications: Creams or ointments to reduce inflammation, fight infection, or alleviate symptoms.
• Oral Medications: In cases of severe infection or inflammation, systemic treatment may be necessary.
• Laser Therapy: Advanced treatments to target specific skin conditions, promoting healing and reducing discomfort.
