See a Foot Specialist
Table of Contents
There aren’t many people who enjoy a visit to the doctor, so many of us often put off a visit to the doctor for as long as possible. Going to a specialist can be even more disconcerting. We might convince ourselves that we’re overreacting, worrying too much, and making a big deal out of nothing. But putting off a visit to the doctor for too long can allow a small health issue to fester into a big one. Here are some tips to help you know when it’s time to come see our foot specialist in Marietta:
- You have a sore or wound on your foot that will not heal. This can be a sign of a larger health issue, like diabetes. Seeing a podiatrist right away will help prevent further infection.
- Discolored or sore toenails. Discoloration might be a sign of a fungal infection, which can be treated topically or with our laser therapy.
- Numbness or swelling in the feet or ankles. Depending on whether the swelling is happening in one or both feet, it could point to a problem with a bone or tendon or larger health issue.
- Skin discoloration in the feet. This could be an issue of gout, infection, or a decrease in the circulation in your feet for some reason.
- A new or rapidly growing growth. Our foot specialist in Marietta can treat bunions, blisters, corns, heel spurs, and more.
