Corns and Hard Skin
Can be very painful if left untreated; a
skilled professional can deal with these
problems quickly to give immediate relief.
Disorders of the Nail
Ingrown toenails (Onychocryptosis), fungal
infections (Onychomycosis), nail-thickening

nail avulsions can be undertaken, as a minor
surgical procedure under local anaesthetic,
in the case of recurring ingrowing toe nails
(Onychocryptosis).

Oxide as the agent, or chemical cautery with
liquids or creams, which is a little more
time-consuming.
Children's treatment is with the mildest and
gentlest agents possible, some herbal.

This interdigital fungus (dermatophytosis),
can be irritating and painful, and of
concern, if left untreated.
Dermatological Conditions
