Question 1

i recently started to get small bumps in between my big toe and second toe on my left foot. it seems to be spreading and they hurt. what is it, cure?

Accepted Answer

Needs to be examined: This could be a skin condition or it may be the result of a structural problem (ex hammertoe, bone spur, etc).  See the podiatrist!

Question 2

what are treatment options for hammer toes?

Accepted Answer

Live with it or fix: Hammertoes are a structural problem that is inherited.  If they're not causing you pain, don't do anything.  If they are causing you pain, you have to decide whether the pain is bad enough to warrant surgery, because surgery is the only way to fix a hammertoe.  The surgery isn't all that bad, actually, but it makes no sense to have surgery unless you have pain.

Hope this helps.  Good luck!

Question 3

what is the best treatment for webbed toes?

Accepted Answer

See below: If there is no pain or problem i would do nothing.
The only treatment would be surgery to take the toes apart.

Question 4

painful bump between toes.    what is treatment for none spurs?

Accepted Answer

See a podiatrist: Corns are callouses on the toes and are caused mainly by shoe irritation over a period of time.  They can just be trimmed by a podiatrist, but will usually come back. The real cause is bony enlargement or malpositioning of the toe. There is a real simple surgery to smooth off the underlying bone and the corn should go away permanently. You can also have your shoes stretched or wear wider shoes.

Question 5

how do i know exactly what is a toe "corn", & is there a natural treatment?

Accepted Answer

Bony enlargement : It is thickened skin that forms pressure over a bone spur. There are no natural treatments. You can protect the area or have it removed.

Question 6

are there treatment guidelines for claw toe?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Claw toes or hammertoes are deformities of the toes due to an imbalance of muscles and tendons of the foot. Initially symptoms may be mild and the contracture of the toe is flexible. If left untreated the deformity can progress to a fixed deformity that is stiff and inflexible. Surgery often involved arthroplasty (removal of the joint) or fusion (arthrodesis) of the joint.

Question 7

my toe nail is broken and discoloured . what is the treatment?

Accepted Answer

Injury?: Was there an injury? How much nail was lost? Condition of other nails? Much will be determined by the answers to these questions. It may take months to regain normal appearance.

Question 8

i have a grayish "pearl" under my toe where i found a tick. what is this and what is treatment for this?

Accepted Answer

It's no oyster....: Without a picture, I have no idea. But, the best way to find out is to visit your family doctor. You can always go straight to a podiatrists office for your answer.

Question 9

i think i have an ingrown toe nail. what is the best treatment for this?

Accepted Answer

A podiatrist: Ingrown toenails are one of the most undertreated of foot problems, and not without consequences. Untreated problems can lead to bone infection of the toe, requiring IV antibiotics and even surgery. Make an appointment and get it treated promptly.

Question 10

Accepted Answer
