Patients with diabetes are prior to causing specific paw problems due to the resulting neuropathy or peripheral vascular disease. Neuropathy and vascular disease cause nerve injury and restricted blood flow, lower the ability to remember the sensation of the foot, or require a considerably long time to heal from injury, especially if it is a wound. Damage to the nerve and weakening of the organization due to decreased blood flow can increase the risk of various foot conditions and infection.
What are the problems of the feet of diabetic patients?
- Athlete's foot. With athlete's feet, fungus can cause bacteria to enter the skin via skin cracks. Symptoms include cracking, itching, redness. The athlete's feet can be treated with various medications, the most common treatment being in the form of a pill or scratch cream.
- Nail fungus infection. Nail infections are more difficult to treat than athletes' feet. In fungal nail infections, nails may discolor, thicken, become brittle, weaken until the nails start to collapse. The most common onychomycosis treatments include those localized directly on the toes and pills that only the doctor can prescribe. Fungal infections can be caused by damp and warm shoes environments and nail injuries.
- Callus. Callus is a hardened build-up of the skin, often on the back of the foot. Uneven or inaccurate weight, skin abnormalities or inappropriate shoe distribution causes callus. Various treatments are possible, such as prescribed medicines, insoles with cushioned shoes, gently scrubbing tissues built using pumice during bathing. Callus should not be cut or sliced with sharp objects, as infection may occur.
- corn. As with callus, corn is also an accumulation of hardened tissues of the foot. The only difference is that maize occurs in the area near the toe and bone. If you scrub with pumice or take prescription medicine, you can treat corn. Cutting corn with topical treatment and sharp objects is not a good way to remove corn.
- Bubbles. Blisters are pockets of painful pouches that often develop in the sole and toes of the feet. The most common cause of blisters is to wear shoes that are perfect for shoes and for a long time without wearing socks. Contrary to your instinct, blowing off blisters is the worst thing. Poped blisters can quickly and easily lead to infection to heal from diabetes.
- Banyons. Banion is when the toes begin to turn a lot and are leaning towards the second toes. Because the big toe is bent, the part of the foot that attaches it to the foot may become difficulty breathing, pain, red. The area may become difficult again. The bunion may be hereditary or it may be the result of inappropriate shoes such as high heels in a narrow area for toes. Foam stuffing, toe separators and surgery are common treatments for bunion.
- Ulcers of the foot. Ulcers of feet are attacked by skin and deep pain and may be infected. Ulcers in the feet may result from mild abrasions, slowly healed wounds, or rubbing of unsuccessful shoes. Early intervention is important in treatment. Please consult your doctor about how to best care.
- Hammer too. Hammer toe is a toe that curls under your feet for weak and shortened tendons on your toes. Hammer toe may interfere with the ability to properly walk and run. It also helps foot problems such as erosion and blisters. The use of orthodontic shoes and splints is a common treatment for hammers. In severe cases, surgery is highly likely to be necessary.
- Grown nails. The grown nails are those whose edges grow on the skin. Grown nails often result in pain, swelling, pressure and drainage. They can also be infected immediately. Inappropriately trimmed claws, severe physical activity such as running and walking, pressing of inappropriate fit shoes, continuous incorporation of toes is the most common cause of toe nails. Prescription drugs, properly trimmed nails and surgery are common treatments for inward nails.
- Plantar warts. Plantar warts are usually painful calls to the foot or heel ball. These warts are caused by viruses.
