Caring for Feet and Wellbeing as We Age
Your toe is sore, red and swollen and you think the quickest fix would be to tackle it yourself by cutting down the side.
Actually this is not a good idea at all. Cutting too deep or at the wrong angle could cause the pain to worsen and even infection could arise. Normally your home isn’t a sterile environment and the instruments you are using aren’t sterilised like they would be at a clinic. That’s why we have a lot of patients visiting with infected toes because bacteria has managed to get under the surface.
Here at MyfeetNI podiatry clinic we can help. We can examine the area and determine whether it is mild or needing further medical treatment. It is particularly important to listen to this advice if you are diabetic, have circulation problems or neuropathy. A minor mistake can lead to significant complications.
If your toe looks red and swollen, and feels sore, act early and don’t ignore it!
