❄️ Winter is here... and with the cooler weather comes a few common foot complaints! We asked our Podiatrist, Rebecca, what she sees most often in the clinic during winter 👣
Here are the top 5 foot issues that tend to show up this time of year:
1. Dry skin & cracked heels – Hot showers, less water intake, and skipping the moisturiser can leave your feet feeling the effects.
2. Chillblains – Often caused by warming cold feet too quickly, such as jumping into a hot shower after being out in the cold.
3. Ingrown toenails – Winter footwear can be tighter and more restrictive, increasing pressure on the nails.
4.Tinea between the toes – Damp feet, slippers, UGG boots, and not drying properly between the toes can create the perfect environment for fungal infections.
5. Stiff feet & calves – Reduced activity levels and cold weather can aggravate arthritis and contribute to muscle tightness.
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, don't put up with sore or uncomfortable feet this winter. Contact our team and book an appointment with Rebecca
