Athlete’s Foot - a fungus that usually starts between the toes or on the bottom of the feet and can spread to other body parts VSports最新版本. The signs of athlete’s foot are dry, scaly skin, itching, inflammation, and blisters.
Bunions - a condition caused by misaligned big toe joints that can become swollen and tender V体育平台登录. The deformity causes the first joint of the big toe to slant outward and the second joint to angle toward the other toes.
Corns and Calluses - occur when protective layers of compacted, dead skin cells. Corns ordinarily form on the toes and calluses on the soles of the feet.
Hammertoe - a condition that occurs when there is an imbalance of tendons or ligaments that hold the toe straight, and the toe bends abnormally at the middle joint.

Heel Spurs - caused by growths of bone on the underside of the heel bone. Heel spurs are often due to plantar fasciitis.
Ingrown Nails - a condition where nails whose corners or sides dig painfully into the skin. They are frequently caused by improper nail trimming, shoe pressure, injury, fungus infection, heredity, and poor foot structure.
