Hope the video helps you with it! Thanks for commenting 🙌

Hi, and great questions. Generally, it's a matter of bathing the toes in warm salty water for a few minutes and changing the dressing (simple dressing) daily for around one week. Usually, the first couple of days, the toe is sore but managed well with painkillers. The bigger bandage is for the first 24-48 hours and can usually fit in sandals or a running shoe. Can return to exercise usually 1-2 weeks later. Thanks for the questions! 🙌

Hi, the source of problem is the nail. The scabbing needs to be removed to get at the nail. Thanks for commenting 🙌

Thanks for commenting. I hope the video helps! 🙏

Glad you liked it! 🙏

Hi, it will vary, but for skin (athletes foot), terbinafine or miconazole creams usually work well for my patients. I usually advise sticking with one, if there are no signs of improvement after 1 month, change it. Best wishes 🙌

Wow, thank you, you're too kind. Sending my love to you guys in Brooklyn ❤️

Thanks for the feedback! 🙏

Lol there are some that are definitely bigger! 😇

Yes of course. Just apply a thin layer and wait 30 seconds before applying your sock. You should be good to go! 😎

I hope it helps! 🙏

Hi, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment, much appreciated. 🙌

I'm so glad it helped! Thanks for letting me know 🙏

They inevitably get infected if left long enough. Some signs of infection are the same as the signs of trauma, so it is sometimes hard to tell if it is infected or not Thanks for commenting! 👍

Is it the back of your heel, or under your heel that hurts when you run?

Lol, it sounds like you're an expert by now. Though if you want a permanent solution to recurring problems, you could see a podiatrist for consideration of a partial nail avulsion with phenolisation. Thanks for commenting, and all the best 👍

Between the 4th and 5th toes is the most common area. If it is definitely only in this area, then could you just treat it there. As long as you're sure. Thanks for commenting! 🙌

Thanks very much for the feedback! 🙌

Thanks for the comment, Erica! I'll add that idea to the list! 🙌

@@thelondonpodiatrist Thank you. Looking forward to it!

Glad it was helpful for you, Erica. Thanks for letting me know. Wishing you the best 🙌

Hi, it's hard to say without seeing it and knowing time scales. Often, it can be some dry blood staining, but have it checked by your podiatrist or doctor 🙌

@@thelondonpodiatrist thank you sir by the wearing tight sliders cause dark spots in both of arch? Is it possible?

It is very possible from friction of shoes. Have it checked by a podiatrist. Thanks for commenting, and wishing you the best 🙌

Thanks, glad it was useful 🙏

Hi! Cracked skin on the feet is usually due to thick callus a fissurijg on the heels or maybe fungus drying the skin out. Best to see a podiatrist but generally shaving back any hard skin and then maybe advise urea based cream or antifungal cream. Thanks for your question 🙌

Thank you very much. So glad you enjoyed it 🙏

Hi, and good question. The spike was caused by bad cutting, so the problem was likely a one-off. This underlines the treatment method in the video. We discussed that if it recurs, we could then consider a partial nail avulsion with phenol - more invasive and longer healing time, etc. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for the comment 🙌

Sorry my English writing 😅 not my first language😅

Sounds like you had some experience! Glad it has settled now. And hopefully won't return 🤞 thanks for sharing 👍

No problem. I understood well! 😎

Yes. Just apply a thin layer of cream and the foot should be dry in under 30 seconds 👍

Ouch! Sounds like you need to see a podiatrist or your Dr. Hope it's improving 🙏

@@thelondonpodiatrist I'm all good now, i got antibiotics and a podiatrist so i can get it fixed properly in the future

Ouch! Hope it's settled, though. Wishing you the best. Thanks for sharing 👍

Although I don't advise patients to treat ingrown toenails themselves, that might be a good video idea! Hope you can get it sorted quickly. Thanks for the sub! 🫶

Thanks for sharing. I'll add it to my watch list 👍

Lol, it sounds like you might enjoy part 1 more. Part 2 is meant to be a discussion and detailed walk through with lots of talking

Thanks for the feedback! 🙌

Spot on 👍

Or harpoon nail. Sometimes, the term harpoon is reserved for ones that are left and end up piercing through the toe and out the other end at the tip 🤯 Thanks for commenting 🙌

Apologies. A common comment. Taking into consideration for future videos. Thanks for the feedback 🙌

Glad you found some of the tips helpful 🙌 Sorry to hear you didn't get on well with orthotics - it's unusual if they are custom made by a good podiatrist. Thanks for commenting, and all the best 👍

​@@thelondonpodiatrist I'm sorry I was so rude before. I just don't believe in orthotics as a permanent solution. I think our feet can be trained and strengthened to do what they're supposed to. Haven't had those problems but I've hade some issues from wearing too narrow shoes when I was younger. Take care 👍

It's OK, I didn't think it was rude - you should see some comments I get on other videos lol. Actually, I would agree with you that we should optimise our own intrinsic foot muscles, and then orthotics for help beyond our limitations. Nice to hear honest opinions. Thanks for sharing 🙏

Thanks Vik! You're on fire with all your uploads I'm seeing every day. Hope the book is going well! 🙏
