I have twisted my ankle on a walk and don't know how to fix it?
Ankle in juries are common and healing can be quick, a few weeks up to 4-6 months, it just depends on the severity of the ligament damage. There are other structures that could be damaged that can be seen on an X-ray. So, if it's still really sore, go see your doc. READ MORE

My right foot has been hurting, what could it be?
Sounds like plantar fasciitis, a very common condition. Go online to get educated and do the following: stretch your Achilles tendon, ice, Motrin, arch supports, and don't walk barefoot. If all fails, go see your podiatrist. READ MORE
How can I treat an ingrown toenail?

Why is there swelling on my foot?
I'm so very sorry about the problems you're having with your foot. Regarding swelling, all foot surgery patients have swelling the first 3 months after surgery. Don't worry, at some point, it will recede. READ MORE
Are high heels safe for my feet?
There will always be a long-term cost of wearing "high heels" full time, from bunions and hammertoe, pinched nerves, heel pain, Achilles tendinitis. The key thing is moderation!! READ MORE

Penlac, jublia are pretty good. Oral medication is the most effective. READ MORE

Absolutely!! Go see a professional. If you try to mess with it, you could just be making the problem much worse. READ MORE
What are the treatment options for toe fungus?
Nothing that really is effective, unfortunately. Topical and oral medications and then there is laser treatment. My preference is oral medication, Lamisil. 1 pill every day for 90 days. The medication continue to work 6 months after your last pill. That's my recommended treatment that is 98% successful. READ MORE
Why does the center of my foot hurt when I walk?
If you're talking about the center of your arch, probably plantar fasciitis. Get arch supports, new sneakers, ice and the most important, stretch your Achilles tendon, 10 times 3x a day. READ MORE
What is the best way to treat ingrown toenails?
Besides soaking in warm salty water, getting to your podiatrist is the best treatment. Anything you do at home other than soaking will only makes things worse and more painful for you. READ MORE
Why is one of my toes smaller than the others?
It's most likely that the shorter of the 2 types has a fused joint vs the longer route. Normal. READ MORE
How do ingrown toenails get infected?
Keep in mind, you're dealing with the foot: your foot is in your shoe, dark, moist, with millions of normal skin bacteria for hours. The nail has a small splinter that digs and breaks into the skin. Bacteria invade and next think you know, an infected ingrown nail. READ MORE
Why is the top of my left foot swollen?
My first concern is a stress fracture. Go see your podiatrist and get X-rays. READ MORE
Should I try to remove a toenail?
Clean with peroxide and tape it down to your toe for the next 7-10 days. Once it's cooled off a bit, you should be able to pull or cut that large piece off. Otherwise, go see a podiatrist. Dr. Siegel READ MORE
What can I do about my nail infection?
The nail is the problem. It's very easy to remove the edge of the nail in the office. Get it done!! READ MORE
Can tight shoes cause corns on my feet?
Yes, absolutely. Get your shoes stretched in the area of your tire. Just go to a shoe repair shop. READ MORE
Why is my toe bleeding randomly?
Probably granulation tissue from the ingrown nail. Go see a podiatrist and get it fixed asap!!! Not a big deal! Dr. Siegel READ MORE
