Question: Summer is right around the corner and my toenails are discolored and thick. What can I do to make them look better?
Answer: Most likely there is a toenail fungus that is making the toenail thick and discolored. The fungus affects the nailbed underneath the nail. There are multiple ways to treat nail fungus, so it’s important to visit my office for proper treatment. First there are oral or topical medications. Sometimes medication is not as effective and can have side effects. Creams and lotions can be messy and not as effective at eliminating all of the fungus. This is where my revolutionary laser can help. This painless way to treat toenail fungus can take between 2 – 4 office treatments to cure. It’s safe, quick, and effective… over 95% success rate!
Question: I have unsightly warts on my feet. Help! What will get rid of the warts?
Answer: Warts are very common; approximately 4.5 million Americans have them. Warts are caused by a viral infection and need to be treated so that they don’t spread. If topical ointments or oral medication has not successfully treated the wart, the next step is office procedures like freezing and surgically removing the wart. Laser therapy is also often successful. Make an appointment to discuss which option is best for your situation.
Question: I have the smelliest feet and am embarrassed to take my shoes off in public. What can I do?
Answer: Smelly feet are caused by excessive sweating. There are 250,000 sweat glands in each foot! When your feet are locked away in shoes all day, your feet tend to sweat. The dark damp environment in your shoe causes bacteria to grow which leads to more order and more sweat. Try rubbing cornstarch or an antiperspirant spray directly on the soles of your feet. Also spray Febreeze or Lysol into your shoes to stop the smell. If your feet are still smelly, I can prescribe topical medications to eliminate odor.
