What are some common skin conditions affecting the feet, ankles, and lower legs?

Many different skin conditions are common on the feet, ankles, and lower legs. Some only occur once or twice and don’t create significant problems. Others are chronic and persist over time.

A brief list of skin conditions that you might notice on your feet and lower legs include:

Athlete’s foot
Blisters
Ingrown toenails
Cracked heels
Toenail fungus
Psoriasis
Eczema
Cellulitis

This isn’t a comprehensive list. However, the good news is that treatments can help.

How can I prevent skin conditions from developing?

When it comes to addressing skin conditions, prevention can help you avoid a great deal of discomfort and stress. Taking great care of your feet is something most people don’t think about until an issue arises.

One way to stay on top of skin conditions is to take the time to focus on the skin on your lower extremities. This can happen during your baths and showers when you cleanse your skin, or it can take the form of routine foot inspections.

Keeping your skin clean and properly moisturized is helpful. If you experience excessive sweating, ask your foot health professional for guidance on treatment. Choose shoes that are wide enough to avoid placing undue pressure on your toes and feet.

If you routinely walk barefoot on shared floors like at a gym or pool, wear shower shoes to avoid picking up a fungal infection like athlete’s foot. If you notice changes in your skin, get professional assistance right away to prevent the condition from worsening.

How long will it take to find relief for skin conditions?

Your treatment path depends on the type of skin condition you’re facing, as well as your overall health, preferred treatment plan, and adherence to recovery guidance. Follow your foot health practitioner’s instructions to move the process along.

No matter how simple or advanced your skin condition may be, rest assured that you have the full support of the Restore Foot & Ankle Specialists team as you move through the process. Feel free to ask questions along the way, and be prepared to share information on what’s working and what’s not.
