Athlete's Foot: Athlete's foot is a fungal infection that occurs in moist, humid environments. Symptoms of athlete's foot include burning, itching, cracking and peeling of the skin. If left untreated, athlete's foot can spread to other parts of the body.

Fungal Nail Infection: Fungal nail infections occur when dirt, debris, and fungi become trapped under the toenail. Signs of a fungal toe infection include thickened, yellow toenails.

Ingrown Toenails: Ingrown toenails are caused when the nail grows at a curve, into the skin of the toe. This most commonly occurs when toenails are trimmed in a curved fashion, as opposed to straight across, the proper way. Wearing restrictive shoes that apply pressure to the toe area causing the nail to grow in a curved fashion may also cause ingrown toenails.

Bunions: A bunion is an enlargement of the bone, most commonly, on the side of the big toe. Bunions can be caused by hereditary factors, foot injury, and poorly fitted shoes, among other things. A bunionectomy is the most common way to treat this problem.

Corns and Calluses: These are a hardening of the skin, commonly on the toes, which are formed by excessive pressure and friction from shoes. Do not attempt to remove a corn or callus on your own. Please see your podiatrist for such a procedure.

Neuromas: A neuroma occurs when the nerves in the foot become pinched and inflamed. A neuroma is benign. Symptoms of neuroma include burning, tingling or numbness in the toe area of the foot.
