Before your visit

• Don’t trim your nails or remove hard skin for a few days before the visit. It is easier to see where the problem comes from.
• Remove polish from your toenails.
• Bring the shoes you wear every day.
• If you take medication regularly or have a long-term condition (such as diabetes), tell me at the start of the visit.

What the visit looks like

1. A conversation: what bothers you, since when, what has been tried.
2. A look at your feet, nails and shoes.
3. Care, if it is needed and can be done right away.
4. A plan: what comes next, what you can do at home, whether and when to come back.

When to see a physician first

Foot care does not replace a physician. Before you come, contact your physician if:

• there is a wound, an ulcer or dark discoloration of the skin on your foot, especially with diabetes;
• a toe or the foot is hot and very red, and the redness is spreading;
• you have a fever, pus or strong pain that does not go away;
• a nail or the skin bleeds without an injury.

Questions

I have diabetes. Can I come?

Yes, if there are no wounds or ulcers on your feet. Foot care for people with diabetes is an everyday part of my work. With a wound, an ulcer or redness that is spreading, see your physician first: that is outside foot care.

Do you see children?

Yes, children of any age, from birth.
