Question 2

how many of feet disease?

Accepted Answer

Many: There are many, many diseases that can affect the feet, from infection, autoimmune, malignant, vascular, etc, etc.  You need to be more specific if you want a better answer.

Question 3

is it good to have big feet?

Accepted Answer

It is what it is.: Doesn't mean anything more or less than if somebody is tall or short in height. Neither good nor bad, it is what you make of it.

Question 4

webbed feet, who should i see?

Accepted Answer

Podiatrist: See podiatrist for evaluation and discussion. Treatment can be considered if it is a problem.

Question 5

is it bad to have sensitive feet?

Accepted Answer

Better than not: Feet have a very good supply of nerves, which is why it hurts so badly to step on sharp objects or stub your toe.  Many of my diabetic patients have lost the "gift of pain", meaning they are completely oblivious to damage in the bottom of their feet because they are numb.  As long as your feet are not in pain all the time, i would not worry about it--your nerves are just working better than most!

Question 6

i have a pain inside my right feet?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Without more information.  Was there an injury? How long have you been in pain? Swelling? Redness? Your overall state of health? It's impossible to give you a diagnosis over the internet. Go see a podiatrist or orthopedist. Good luck and feel better!

Question 7

what causes your feet to get dark ?

Accepted Answer

Dark?: Photoexposure (sun tan), new shoes transferring dye, walking barefoot indoors or outdoors come to mind.    If it's cold exposure, try a warm bath and drink plenty of fluids.

Question 8

is feet size proportional to height?

Accepted Answer

Not really: There is no exact corelation.  I've seen guys who are six foot tall and their shoe size ranges from 7.5 to 14!

Question 9

why are some peoples' feet so small?

Accepted Answer

: We tend to inherit our size hair color as well as foot size.

Question 10

what causes dry flaking scales on feet?

Accepted Answer

Dry skin: This can be difficult to answer without seeing your feet.  Psoriasis can cause scales to form.  I would recommend a dermatology consult.  The skin is constantly renewing itself.  The dry scales are the old skin shedding.  There are  numerous moisturizers that could be tried.  Many podiatrists handle skin problems of the foot, ankle and lower leg.
