Like us, we are sure many of you are already enjoying pool days
or perhaps an outing or two to Whirlin’ Waters. As much as we love water days
in Charleston these activities can result in unwanted foot problems such as
warts, nail fungus, athlete’s foot and more.
The most common cause for these issues are the bacteria
infested, damp areas surrounding public swimming areas, locker rooms and
showers. In the instance of public pools hundreds of people trample through
this bacteria thriving environment unintentionally spreading fungus and giving
it an ample place to grow...and in result, others pick up these conditions. We suggest wearing
water shoes to avoid most problems and making sure to clean and dry feet well
after exposure to these areas.
If you are concerned about any of the following please see
our office for the most effective treatments. Recent studies show increased evidence of how easily conditions can spread among family members as well as to public.
- Discolored Toenails (resulting from Onychomycosis)
- Thickened or Flaking Nails
- Symptoms of Athlete’s Foot (itching, scaling,
inflammation)
- Newly formed warts
