Fungal Toenails, Corns, and Calluses: Diabetic Foot Care

Fungal toenails, corns, and calluses are common foot problems that can cause discomfort and pain.

Fungal toenails: Fungal toenail infections can be treated with topical or oral antifungal medications. It's important to keep the affected area clean and dry and to wear breathable shoes and socks. If the infection is severe or doesn't respond to over-the-counter treatments, a healthcare professional may recommend professional treatments such as laser therapy or nail debridement.

Corns: Corns are thickened areas of skin that develop in response to pressure or friction. They can be treated with over-the-counter pads or cushions that relieve pressure on the affected area. It's important to wear properly fitting shoes that don't rub or pinch the feet.

Calluses: Calluses are also thickened areas of skin that develop in response to pressure or friction. They can be treated with over-the-counter creams or ointments that soften the skin. It's important to wear properly fitting shoes that don't rub or pinch the feet.

In all cases, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional if the condition is severe or doesn't respond to over-the-counter treatments. A podiatrist or dermatologist can recommend appropriate treatment options based on the specific situation.
