At first I thought of posting pictures. Butafter giving it some thought I decided not to. You can plenty of pictures on the web. Simply go to Google images and type in: “Diabetic Foot” – you’ll see what I mean…..

Diabetic foot infections happen if diabetic patients do not take proper care of their feet. Whether its wearing uncomfortable shoes or ignoring small blisters/

ulcers on the feet.

What happens? Diabetic foot complications have a strong effect on the blood circulation to the feet. They affect the nerve cells in the feet which controls sensation which means you will not be aware of any injury to them and this makes the situation much worse and can lead to amputation of the foot.

It’s the podiatrists ultimate goal to prevent diabetic feet complications.  With proper foot management diabetic patients can lead a normal life.

But you must take action early.

Do You Need a Podiatrist?

To your health,

This conference will be taking place in Bournemouth, UK.

Foot ulcers and amputations are a major cause of morbidity, disability, as well as emotional and physical costs for people with diabetes. Early recognition and management of independent risk factors for ulcers and amputations can prevent or delay the onset of adverse outcomes.

For this reason it is critical that you meet with a podiatrist who can guide and educate you on how to effectively protect your feet.

Daniel Weisz can prevent diabetic feet complications as well as treat in order to save the very serious ill feet – even those who have been recommended for amputations.

People with hammertoe may have corns or calluses on the top of the middle joint of the toe or on the tip of the toe. They may also feel pain in their toes or feet and have difficulty finding comfortable shoes.

Treatment for hammertoe typically involves wearing shoes with soft, roomy toe boxes and toe exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles. Commercially available straps, cushions, or non medicated corn pads may also relieve symptoms. If needed surgery may be recommended.

When a diabetic foot becomes numb, it may be at risk for deformity. One way this happens is through ulcers. Ulcers are small, unattended cuts that become open sores, which may then become infected.

With a diabetic foot, a wound as small as a blister from wearing a shoe that’s too tight can lead to a lot of damage. Therefore diabetics must constantly monitor their feet or face severe consequences, including amputation. Diabetes decreases blood flow, so injuries are slow to heal. When a wound is not healing, is at risk for infection and infections spread quickly in diabetics.

As a diabetic you should be inspecting your feet every day. Look for puncture wounds, bruises, pressure areas, redness, warmth, blisters, ulcers, scratches, cuts, and nail discoloration. Get someone to help you, or use a mirror.

Remember: In case you experience any injury to your foot, even a minor injury is an emergency for a patient with diabetes.

Contact your podiatrist immediately in order to receive the proper treatment.

A podiatrist is a specialist who consults patients referred by a GP or a specialist. Usually they come with specific foot ailments. A podiatrist will investigate the cause, give advice and if necessary choose an appropriate treatment.

These foot ailments may be located in the foot, skin, nails and the level of functional movement of the foot. Pain located in the knee, hip and back are also within the scope of work of the podiatrist.

For these problems, the podiatrist employs different techniques and devices that enable him to analyze gait and biomechanical measures. The goal is to find the possible cause of patient foot issues and the possibility of treating them.

This may allow not only an improvement in the short term but also long-term decrease the chances of recurrence.

At processing level, next to education and health information, wound care, cutting and milling technique (in the problem of skin and nails) there is also relief techniques (using felt, tape and silicone) and correction techniques (using silicone, staple, soles)

The podiatrist is trained to assist the surgeons of the foot in the operating room.

In 80% of cases, dry, cracked skin of the heel is a result of fungal infection. If application of cosmetic creams does not alleviate the condition within a few days, it may be assumed that the cause is fungal.

Dry, scaly skin is one of he results of the disease known as foot mycosis, and is in fact the least serious. Other effects are: blisters, unpleasant odors, redness, and especially itching (mild to severe), especially between the 4th and 5th toes (the smaller toes, squashed into the shoe).

In extreme cases, especially if neglected, suppurating wounds may develop.

How are foot fungus produced?

Fungal disease is the most widespread disease in the world. In Israel we may be particularly aware of this problem because so many people wear sandals, and their feet are exposed to view.

Foot fungus arise like mushrooms after rain. Excess humidity and wetness are the chief causes of fungal infections, produced when various organisms ‘settle’ on the skin. Closed shoes are an ideal breeding – ground for growing fungi, because they provide a perfect situation for their development.

Foot mycosis appears to be an infectious disease in every way, and is spread especially in public places where the feet are exposed, such as swimming pools, dressing rooms, locker-rooms, mikve, and so on. If it is not treated properly, it may spread to other parts of the body, and in extreme cases give rise to serious skin disease known as erysipelas, that may in severe cases even end in death.

Symptoms

Itching between the toes (especially the 4th and 5th)

Redness of skin – caused mainly by scratching

Dry, scaly skin with or without cracks.

Wounds, suppurating wounds, ‘watery’ rash

Blistery spots on the foot.

The nails may thicken, and change in colour and texture – they may even seem ‘eroded’ or become floury and disintegrate.

Nail mycosis – fungus affecting mainly the toes, although the infection may spread to finger nails. It causes yellowing of the nails.

Foot mycosis – common mycosis, appearing between the 3rd and 4th or the 4th and 5th toes. It causes wetness, redness and scaliness of the skin.

It left untreated, the mycosis can spread to the skin of the whole foot and the toenails.

How can the problem be prevented?

Choose socks made of natural materials, such as cotton, that spread the sweat, in preference to socks made of synthetic materials.

Wear leather – soled shoes or sandals.

Do not wear someone else’s shoes, and of course, do not buy used shoes.

At the swimming pool, in locker rooms and public showers, you should wear slip-ons or sandals – never walk barefoot.

When undergoing any pedicure treatment, make sure the instruments have been sterilized between treatments.

Wash feet daily.

Dry feet thoroughly after washing

Always use your own tower for your feet – even within the family.

Wash down the shower after use.

Whenever any cosmetic cream is applied to the feet, such as Atractine, make sure it has been fully absorbed. Vestiges of cream between the toes constitute an ideal damp breeding ground for the development of fungi.

Treatment

There are many preparations – personal advice should be obtained.
