It’s not just about the feet 👣
Whilst I’m busy clipping away at nails, removing hard skin and giving your feet some much-needed TLC, I’m also looking out for anything that may need further attention.
During a recent appointment, whilst carrying out my usual inspection of the lower limb, I noticed this suspicious-looking lesion on my client’s leg.
It’s important to say that I cannot diagnose skin lesions — however I am in a great position to notice changes or abnormalities that may otherwise go unnoticed. I advised my client to seek further medical assessment, and she is now awaiting a referral for this particular lesion.
🔎 This is why regular skin checks are so important
When was the last time you properly looked over your legs and feet? Look out for:
• New or changing marks, moles or lesions
• Changes in size, shape or colour
• A sore or scab that doesn’t seem to heal
• Bleeding, crusting or persistent itching
• Anything that simply looks different or suspicious to you
Your feet may be my main focus, but when you’re up on my foot stool, I’m looking at the bigger picture too 🦶
Please don’t ignore something just because it doesn’t hurt. If you notice a new or changing lesion, get it checked by your GP or appropriate healthcare professional.
Sometimes, spotting something early can make all the difference.
