Ingrowing Toe nails
In-growing toenails can be extremely painful, sometimes a course of antibiotics or simple nail care can resolved the problem, if it doesn't nail surgery will be required. You can be booked in the clinic for a procedure to remove the offending portion of nail under local anaesthetic and then the application of a caustic to prevent any regrowth, with a healing time of approximately 4-6 weeks.

Verruca Treatment
Verrucae are a benign tumour, caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) and can resolve of their own accord. However, if painful and spreading, they may require intervention to resolve them. We offer different types of acid treatment as well as cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen freezing) which have a high resolution rate. We also provide Faulkner's Needling under local anaesthetic - an invasive procedure

Diabetic Feet
Diabetic foot screening are essential for diabetic patients, as they may be at a higher risk of issues with their blood supply (vascular complications) and/or a lack of sensation (neuropathy) in their feet, if their diabetic control is poor. These areas may deteriorate over time, so a regular check up with your podiatrist is essential.
