Common foot problems
Common foot problems in the older person include dry and hard skin, corns, callouses, blisters due to friction, ingrown toenails, foot deformity (from birth or due to conditions like arthritis ), fungal infection such as athletes foot and fungal nail infection, circulation problems, and verrucas. These problems are usually caused by inappropriate or inadequate foot care, mechanical causes (often due to inappropriate footwear ), infection and underlying medical conditions, eg diabetic neuropathy, congenital foot deformity (foot deformity you are born with ) such as flat feet, etc. Many of these foot problems can be prevented through proper daily care.
