Corns. Calluses. Cracked heels. An ingrown, thickened or fungal toenail — or nails that have become difficult to cut safely at home.
Small things — until they’re not. You don’t need anything complicated to deserve relief, and you don’t need to have “let it go too far” to book in.
What’s involved
Most of these concerns come down to a small number of common causes: friction or uneven pressure (corns and calluses), dry skin and prolonged standing (cracked heels), footwear that’s too tight or nails cut incorrectly (ingrown toenails), and fungal or viral organisms that thrive in warm, enclosed shoes (fungal nails and warts). Knowing which one you’re actually dealing with is what decides the right treatment — which is why an assessment comes before anything else.
It’s worth booking in if a corn or callus keeps returning despite home care, a crack in your heel won’t settle, a nail has become painful or hard to manage yourself, or you’re simply not sure what you’re looking at. None of these need to reach “unbearable” first.
What to expect
- A relaxed, unhurried consultation covering corns, calluses, warts and nail care
- Sterilised instruments, every visit
- Care available in Arabic, Cantonese, English, Mandarin or Vietnamese
