Conditions

Athlete's Foot

Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT)

A group of inherited disorders damaging nerves in arms and legs, leading to muscle weakness and loss of sensation, mainly in feet and legs, extending to hands and arms as it progresses.

Chilblains

Painful inflammations of small blood vessels in your skin that occur in response to sudden warming from cold temperatures, causing itching, red patches, swelling, and blistering on the hands and feet.

Dementia

Can significantly impact foot care. Cognitive decline, leads to challenges in self-care practices, reduced awareness of foot health, and difficulty in communicating discomfort or pain, potentially increasing the risk of neglect, injuries, and infections.

Diabetes

Can severely affect foot care, as high blood sugar levels can lead to decreased blood flow and nerve damage in the feet, increasing the risk of foot ulcers, infections, and potentially leading to severe complications.

Plantar Fasciitis

A common condition that causes sharp pain in the heel or bottom of the foot, resulting from inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot and connects the heel bone to the toes.
