Toenail & Skin Conditions Treatment in Howell & Bloomfield Township, MI

Toenail and skin changes are some of the most common — and most worried-about — reasons patients search for a podiatrist. Most are harmless and treatable; a few need prompt attention. These guides help you tell the difference.

Toenail changes, explained

When a nail or skin change needs prompt attention

Most discoloration is from polish, minor trauma, or fungus. But a new, growing, or irregular dark streak or spot should be evaluated, because skin cancers can appear on the foot and under the nail. When something looks different from the rest of your nails and is changing, have it checked rather than waiting.

What we treat

  1. Fungal nails and athlete’s foot — accurate diagnosis first, then the treatment that fits the severity.
  2. Ingrown toenails — quick in-office relief and prevention of recurrence.
  3. Warts, calluses and corns — removal and offloading the pressure that caused them.
  4. Suspicious lesions — evaluated promptly; referred when needed.

When to see a podiatrist

Come in for a nail or skin change that is new, growing, painful, bleeding, or simply different from your other nails — and for fungal nails or ingrown nails that keep coming back.
