Dr. Kathleen T Neuhoff DPM's Expert Contributions
  • What can I do about my nail infection?

    If the infection is caused by an ingrowing portion of the nail, it will not heal without removing that portion of the nail. It is just as if you had a splinter embedded in your skin. No medication will fix the splinter (or ingrown nail); it must be removed. In most cases, however, the entire nail does not need to be removed, only the ingrown portion. After it heals, this will look completely normal. Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM READ MORE

  • Can tight shoes cause corns on my feet?

    There is always a reason for a corn.  Shoes that are too tight is one reason.  Corns can also be caused by bone spurs. Stop wearing those shoes...if the problem does not resolve, go to a podiatrist and have radiographs done to see if ther is another problem. Dr. Neuhoff READ MORE

  • Why is my toe bleeding randomly?

    You could have a broken bone in your toe or infection. Either of these can cause bleeding. They can be quite dangerous. An infection in the bone could cause you to lose your toe. You need to go to a podiatrist or family doctor as soon as you can. Dr. Kathleen Neuhoff  READ MORE

  • Why do shoes give me a rash?

    You may have an allergy to the material in that particular pair of shoes. Best thing to do is avoid wearing that pair of shoes. If you begin to see that same reaction with other shoes, you could be tested for allergies to leather. Dr. Kathleen Neuhoff  READ MORE

  • Are there home remedies for foot fungus?

    You can use 50% white vinegar and warm water and apply it to your feet twice a day. You can also use over the counter Lamisil or Lotrimin. If these are not effective, you should go to the doctor or a podiatrist because it may not be a fungus. Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM READ MORE

  • Why does my big toe hurt when I apply too much pressure?

    There are many possible causes for this problem. They include ingrowing toenails, gout, injuries, arthritis. Best to go to your podiatrist and have it evaluated. X-rays might be required also. Dr. Kathleen neuhoff  READ MORE

  • Why are my feet dry and cracked?

    You should see a podiatrist or a dermatologist. You may have tinea pedis, which is a form of fungal infection on your feet. Dr. Kathleen Neuhoff  READ MORE

  • Is there any way to prevent plantar warts?

    The warts are caused by a virus. In a young patient, there are treatments to prevent recurrence, but there is nothing to prevent them in an adult. Dr. Kathleen Neuhoff READ MORE

  • I have an ingrown toenail. How would it be removed?

    First, the toe is usually numbed. Then all or part of the nail is removed. That part of the nail root is either removed or treated with a chemical so it will never grow back. This is generally done in an office. Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM  READ MORE

  • How are bunions removed?

    They can be removed with surgery. Most bunion surgery is done by podiatrists who are foot specialists, but you can also use an orthopedic surgeon who has received additional training in bunion surgery. Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM  READ MORE

  • How are calluses treated?

    Callouses are a symptom of many different problems so their treatment depends on the cause. If they are caused by bone spurs, the spurs can be removed. If they are caused by the wrong type of shoe, more appropriate shoes for a particular foot structure can be used. If they are caused by warts, the warts can be treated. If they are caused by foot shifting, an orthotic may be used. Your podiatrist should be able to help you determine the cause and treatment options. Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM  READ MORE

  • I have a recurrent problem of ingrown toenails. What should I do?

    A podiatrist can perform a simple surgery to permanently remove the ingrown portion of the nail. It can be done in the office and patients usually return to work the next day. Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM  READ MORE

  • I have a little bone growth just under my toe. Will it have to be treated with surgery?

    The bump can be treated with padding and protection, but the only way to actually fix the problem is to remove it with surgery. It is a simple surgery which can be done through a tiny incision. Most patients can return to work in two to three days. Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM  READ MORE

  • I have a weird growth on my ankle. What could it be?

    There are too many possibilities with such a limited amount of information...it could be a ganglion cyst, a bone spur, a tumor or multiple other things. Best plan is to go to an orthopedist or a podiatrist for an evaluation. Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM  READ MORE

  • How is a diabetic foot treated?

    Treatment depends upon symptoms. Many diabetic feet are not symptomatic at all. These just need to be monitored. If this symptom is nerve pain, there are many medications that help with this. If this symptom is numbness there are other medications that will help with that. Of course, in every situation control of the diabetes is most important. A podiatrist, endocrinologist, or your family doctor can help you determine which is the best choice for your mother.  Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM  READ MORE

  • What shoes should I wear for hammertoe?

    Hammer toes are an inherited problem, so shoe style will not prevent them from progressing. Wearing well-fitted extra depth shoes may keep the hammertoes from becoming painful. Custom orthotics may slow their progression, but that is not well proven. Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM READ MORE

    If this is a new problem, you may have tendinitis, edema in your foot, tarsal tunnel, or other problems. You need to see if a podiatrist and orthopod or your primary care physician to determine the cause. Dr. Kathleen Neuhoff  READ MORE
