Ingrown Toenail - Birmingham and Shelby County, AL Lora Yeager-Smith, DPM - Podiatrist Podiatrist Dr. Lora Yeager-Smith discusses the symptoms, causes and treatments for Ingrown Toenail. http://www.cahabapodiatry.com Nail problems Abnormal nail growth can be caused by several entities, such as acute or chronic illness, injury, psoriasis or fungus. Illness: a severe illness can cause an interruption of nail growth. In this case, one might see a line from left to right in the toenail, where the border between the old nail and the new nail growth is demarcated. Injury: trauma to a nail can come in many forms, ranging from a direct crush injury from a heavy object to constant microtrauma from ill-fitting shoes. Nail injury can invite fungus. Nail fungus: discoloration, thickening and/or loosening of a toenail can be brought about by the presence of fungus, yeast or mold. There are several species of these living organisms, which are grouped into the Fungus Kingdom (the other Kingdoms being plants, animals and bacteria), and which are able to make a comfortable home in a toenail.

Wound Care - Yonkers, Hartsdale, NY - Podiatrist John Marzano DPM Podiatrist Dr. John Marzano of Westchester Podiatric Medicine discusses the symptoms, causes and treatments for Wound Care. http://www.westchesterpodiatric.com Ulcers are skin wounds that are slow to heal. In the foot, as prominent metatarsal heads on the plantar (bottom of the foot)are subjected to increased pressure, the skin begins to become callused. When subjected to shearing forces, there is a separation between the layers on this callused skin, which fills with fluid and becomes contaminated and infected. The result is a foot ulcer.
