There are many different types of toe and toenail conditions that can affect the comfort and mobility of your feet.
Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis that can cause sudden and severe pain, tenderness, and swelling in the joints of your toes. It can also cause the skin over the affected joint to turn red and shiny.
Turf toe is a sprain of the ligaments around the base of the big toe joint. It usually occurs when the toe is bent too far upward, and can cause pain, swelling, and limited mobility in the toe.
Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, and swelling.
Fungal toenails are caused by an infection with a fungus, and can cause the toenails to become thick, discolored, and brittle.
Hammertoe is a deformity of the toe that causes it to bend downward at the middle joint. It can cause pain, corns, and calluses on the top of the toe or the ball of the foot.
All of these conditions can cause pain, embarrassment, and discomfort, and it is important to seek treatment from a podiatrist if you are experiencing any of these symptoms. Our podiatrists specialize in treating these conditions and offer various treatment options including:
