Foot problems are very common for people who spend most of their time wearing cramped shoes, walking for kilometres, or standing for long periods of time. These are the most common foot problems Singaporean people experience.
- Plantar Warts:
Plantar warts are small growths that appear on the heel and other areas of the feet that bear weight. These growth may cause inflammation and infection if left untreated, there are foot clinics in Singapore that offer plantar warts removal services.
- Achilles Tendonitis:
Achilles Tendonitis happens when your Achilles tendon (found at the back of the foot) becomes inflamed. OTC anti-inflammatory medications and special treatments can be taken, or if it’s too serious to be medicated at home, you may consult a doctor from a renowned foot clinic.
- Bunions:
Bunions are mild foot deformity. It’s a bony bump that forms on the joint of the big toe. If deemed necessary, doctors in foot clinics may refer to surgery. Most women in Singapore who wear high heels every day are prone to get bunion growth due to the stress of wearing shoes like heels.
- Athlete’s foot in Kids:
Athlete’s foot is a common foot disease that is caused by fungus, and your kids feet are not safe from them. Make sure to teach them to dry their feet properly before putting on socks and shoes to avoid infection, use an anti-fungal powder or spray if necessary. If the problem persists, call a clinic that offers service for children or a children’s foot clinic.
