Routine Toenail Care

toenail cutting

Routine toenail cutting and maintenance is a key part of keeping your feet healthy and comfortable.

Baytree Podiatry provides careful and accurate toenail trimming to help prevent problems such as ingrown nails, thickened nails, and damage caused by improper cutting. Regular appointments ease discomfort and allow us to keep an eye on your overall foot health and address any concerns before they become more serious.

Fingernail Cutting (with Podiatry Appointment)

fingernail cutting

Fingernail cutting can be included as part of your podiatry appointment, particularly for those who may find it difficult to manage their nails due to reduced mobility, vision, or underlying health conditions. Safe, hygienic nail trimming helps prevent discomfort, ingrown nails, and potential infections.

Baytree Podiatry offers this service alongside your routine foot care, offering a convenient and comprehensive approach to maintaining both hand and foot health.

Fungal Nail Treatment

fungal nail

Fungal nail infections, also known as onychomycosis, are common conditions caused by either dermatophytes or yeasts. The fungal elements attack the protein in the nail, called keratin. This results in changes to the structure and colour of the nail plate, and they often result in discolouration, thickening, and crumbling of the nails and can sometimes cause discomfort or an unpleasant odour. Left untreated, the infection can spread to other nails or surrounding skin, making it more difficult to manage over time.

Baytree Podiatry provides thorough assessment and a range of treatment options to help manage fungal nail infections effectively. We aim to restore the health and appearance of your nails, reduce the risk of recurrence, and support long-term foot health.

Ingrowing Toenail Treatment

ingrowing toenail

An ingrowing toenail (onychocryptosis) occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, swelling, and sometimes infection – often affecting the big toe. It can interfere with daily life and may even cause complications if left untreated. Even without visible inflammation, curved or involuted nails can still cause discomfort. The condition can range from mild tenderness to persistent pain that worsens over time.

Baytree Podiatry offers conservative management of ingrowing toenails in your home, aiming to relieve discomfort and avoid surgery. Our approach uses gentle, non-invasive techniques to reduce inflammation, manage any infection, and encourage proper nail growth. Professional care can successfully treat many ingrowing toenails without the need for surgical procedures, and early intervention is key to preventing complications.

Corn and Callus Removal

corn removal

Corns and calluses are areas of thickened skin that develop in response to pressure or friction, often caused by footwear, foot shape, or walking patterns. Corns tend to be small and focused, sometimes forming over joints or bony areas, and they can feel like walking on a stone. Calluses are usually larger, flatter areas of hard skin, commonly found on the soles. While they are the body’s natural way of protecting the skin, they can become painful, unsightly, and lead to further issues if left untreated.

Baytree Podiatry offers safe and effective removal of corns and calluses, helping to relieve discomfort, improve mobility, and prevent recurrence with ongoing care and advice.

Diabetic Foot Assessment

diabetic foot assessment

Comprehensive diabetic foot checks are essential for assessing your current risk status and maintaining overall foot health. These checks help identify any early signs of damage, such as reduced sensation, poor circulation, or skin changes. Early detection is key to preventing serious complications. Regular foot assessments can also track changes over time and ensure timely intervention if needed. Ongoing monitoring and professional care play a vital role in reducing the risk of long-term complications.

Baytree Podiatry carries out thorough diabetic foot assessments, checking both blood flow and nerve supply to help identify potential complications early. We also provide practical education to support self-care and promote long-term foot health. Regular foot checks are particularly important for individuals with diabetes, ulcers, or poor circulation, as these conditions increase the risk of infections, delayed healing, and inflammatory complications. Professional monitoring and early intervention can make a significant difference in maintaining comfort, mobility, and overall wellbeing. GP letters can be sent on request and if required.

Verruca and Wart Treatment

Verruca and Wart Treatment

Verrucas and warts are viral skin infections caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Over 200 HPV subtypes exist, but the ones most commonly affecting the feet include:

  • HPV 1 – Often painful, typically presenting with areas of hard skin.
  • HPV 2 – Commonly appears in multiple areas with a mosaic-like pattern.
  • HPV 4 – Typically appears as a single lesion, less painful, and less often found on the feet.

Verrucas vary in size and appearance, but they are often rough circles of hard skin with small black dots in the centre. They can be painful, particularly when standing or walking, and they are highly contagious. The virus thrives in warm, moist environments such as swimming pools and gym changing rooms, making it easy to spread. Over-the-counter treatments are often ineffective, and persistent verrucas may require professional care.

Baytree Podiatry offers tailored advice and treatment options to manage verrucas and warts effectively. We aim to relieve discomfort, reduce the risk of spreading, and support your skin’s natural healing process. We offer Verrutop treatment on request – an advanced topical solution with high success rates. Clinical studies show that 47% of patients were successfully treated after just one session, 87% achieved results within four sessions, and 90% saw improvement within six sessions.

General Foot Care and Footwear Advice

General Foot Care and Footwear Advice

Regular foot care plays an important role in maintaining overall foot health, comfort, and mobility – especially as we age or if we’re managing long-term conditions. As the feet endure daily stress, they can develop issues such as thickened nails, corns, calluses, or dry, cracked skin. Left untreated, these problems can lead to pain, reduced mobility, or even infections. Routine care helps keep skin healthy, nails trimmed, and pressure areas monitored. It also allows for early detection of changes that may signal underlying health concerns.

Baytree Podiatry offers general foot care services to help keep your feet in their best condition, including routine checks for any developing issues. We also provide personalised footwear advice to ensure your shoes offer the right support, fit, and protection for your individual needs. The right footwear can prevent a range of problems, from corns and calluses to joint pain and pressure sores. We aim to keep you comfortable, active, and confident on your feet.
