leading to brittle toenails. We offer various treatment options, such as topical
antifungal medications, oral medications, and nail debridement.

Symptoms include a scaly rash that usually causes itching, stinging, and burning.

Treatment often consists of prescription antifungals, powders, or oral medications.
Corns/Calluses

Calluses are areas of hardened, thickened skin that often form on the soles of the
feet. Our expert podiatrists offer foot callus treatment to safely remove calluses. We can also recommend proper footwear and foot hygiene practices to preventreoccurrence. -
Corns often develop on the tops and sides of feet and between the toes. They're
benign and can also be found in weight-bearing areas. Symptoms include
hardened, raised bumps surrounded by inflamed skin. They can be painful whenpressed. We can recommend padding or regular debridement.

redness, drainage and potentially an infection. -

risk of complications. -
Lifting or removing a portion of the toenail can help. Antibiotics might be needed.
