She is also a member of the American Academy of Podiatric Practice Management.
Bunions
Increase the pressure in certain areas on the feet, causing painful corns (thickened skin over a joint), callus (thickened skin on the ball of the foot) or bunions (when the big toe leans in towards the second toe and the joint becomes inflamed and sore)

Corns
Ulcer
If you suffer from diabetes and you are concerned about your feet, particularly if you develop an ulcer, abscess or notice discoloration - you should seek advice from a doctor. Foot complications are common in diabetes and can lead to amputation if they're not properly treated. But by practicing good personal foot care, complications can be detected earlier and treated more easily.
Calluses
Fungus
The good news is that you can usually treat athlete's foot easily yourself. There are a number of creams, powders and sprays available to buy over the counter from a pharmacist. These contain drugs that kill or reduce the growth of the fungus, such as miconazole, terbinafine (e.g. Lamisil) or tolnaftates. Some of them need to be used for some time after symptoms have disappeared to make sure the infection has completely cleared up. If creams and lotions applied directly to the affected skin don't work, tablets are available that your podiatrist can prescribe if appropriate.

Foot Infections
Take care with hygiene if you have any kind of foot infection. There's no point in treating it if you're constantly re-infecting yourself by putting on socks or shoes carrying the fungus.
Foot Neuroma
Another problem caused by high heels is a trapped nerve in the foot (Morton's neuroma), which causes pain, numbness and tingling, and/or aching and burning feet. So if you wear heels regularly, try to limit the height to 4cm, and try to alternate between different heel sizes from one day to the next.
