Treating and Preventing Plantar Warts
Plantar warts are stubborn growths caused by human papillomavirus, abbreviated HPV, and can be a source of discomfort and frustration. If you are attempting to manage these types of warts, there are effective ways to address them. Over-the-counter treatments containing salicylic acid can help dissolve the warts over time. Alternatively, your podiatrist can use cryotherapy to freeze the warts off. It is important to avoid picking or scratching the warts, as this can spread the virus. To help prevent plantar warts, keep your feet dry and clean, especially in damp environments, such as locker rooms or public showers. Wearing appropriate shoes, such as flip-flops, in communal areas can help to reduce the risk of exposure. If you have developed a plantar wart, it is suggested that you consult with a podiatrist who can guide you toward the treatment method that is right for you.
Plantar warts can be very uncomfortable. If you need your feet checked, contact Dr. Yeon A. Shim from Roselle Podiatry Group. Our doctor will assist you with all of your foot and ankle needs.
About Plantar Warts
Plantar warts are the result of HPV, or human papillomavirus, getting into open wounds on the feet. They are mostly found on the heels or balls of the feet.
While plantar warts are generally harmless, those experiencing excessive pain or those suffering from diabetes or a compromised immune system require immediate medical care. Plantar warts are easily diagnosed, usually through scraping off a bit of rough skin or by getting a biopsy.
Symptoms
- Lesions on the bottom of your feet, usually rough and grainy
- Hard or thick callused spots
- Wart seeds, which are small clotted blood vessels that look like little black spots
- Pain, discomfort, or tenderness of your feet when walking or standing
Treatment
- Freezing
- Electric tool removal
- Laser Treatment
- Topical Creams (prescription only)
- Over-the-counter medications
To help prevent developing plantar warts, avoid walking barefoot over abrasive surfaces that can cause cuts or wounds for HPV to get into. Avoiding direct contact with other warts, as well as not picking or rubbing existing warts, can help prevent the further spread of plantar warts. However, if you think you have developed plantar warts, speak to your podiatrist. He or she can diagnose the warts on your feet and recommend the appropriate treatment options.

Conditions & Problems:
Having flat feet makes it difficult to run or walk because of the stress placed on the ankles.
Alignment – The general alignment of your legs can be disrupted, because the ankles move inward which can cause major discomfort.
Knees – If you have complications with your knees, flat feet can be a contributor to arthritis in that area.
Symptoms
- Pain around the heel or arch area
- Trouble standing on the tip toe
- Swelling around the inside of the ankle
- Flat look to one or both feet
- Having your shoes feel uneven when worn

Common Reasons for Big Toe Pain
The foot is a complex structure that contains numerous tendons, ligaments, muscles, and bones, with 19 bones located in the toes themselves. Among the common causes of toe pain are gout, tendonitis, bunions, and osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis, sesamoiditis, and turf toe are other causes. Gout is a type of arthritis caused by too much uric acid in the system, leading to excruciating big toe pain. Overuse of the big toe, which is instrumental in walking, can lead to inflammation of the big toe joint. Tight-fitting shoes can cause a bump to develop at the base of the big toe, known as a bunion. Pain results from a shift in the biomechanics of the feet and friction caused by shoes. Rheumatoid arthritis can also lead to bunion-like deformities, causing sharp pain. Trauma to the big toe can also trigger osteoarthritis, which is characterized by excessive wear and tear of the toe joints. Sesamoiditis is an inflammation of the tissue surrounding the two tiny sesamoid bones, located at the base of the big toe. Turf toe, an overstretching of the ligament at the base of the big toe. For assistance with big toe pain that is limiting your daily activities, it is suggested that you make an appointment with a podiatrist.
Toe pain can disrupt your daily activities. If you have any concerns, contact Dr. Yeon A. Shim of Roselle Podiatry Group. Our doctor can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
What Causes Toe Pain?
Most severe toe pain is caused due to a sports injury, trauma from dropping something heavy on the toe, or bumping into something rigid. Other problems can develop over time for various reasons.
Toe pain can be caused by one or more ailments. The most common include:
- Trauma
- Sports injury
- Wearing shoes that are too tight
- Arthritis
- Gout
- Corns and calluses
- Hammertoe
- Bunions
- Blisters
- Ingrown toenails
- Sprains
- Fractures (broken bones)
- Dislocations
When to See a Podiatrist
- Severe pain
- Persistent pain that lasts more than a week
- Signs of infection
- Continued swelling
- Pain that prevents walking
Diagnosis
In many cases the cause of toe pain is obvious, but in others, a podiatrist may want to use more advanced methods to determine the problem. These can range from simple visual inspections and sensation tests to X-rays and MRI scans. Prior medical history, family medical history, and any recent physical traumatic events will all be taken into consideration for a proper diagnosis.
Treatment
Treatments for toe pain and injuries vary and may include shoe inserts, padding, taping, medicines, injections, and in some cases, surgery. If you believe that you have broken a toe, please see a podiatrist as soon as possible.

Socks Help Protect the Feet From Running Injuries
Much attention is placed on finding the proper running shoes for your feet and the type of running you will be doing. However, finding the right socks can be equally important to avoid discomfort and injury while running. The right running socks can help to prevent blisters, pad the feet, offer support, and wick away moisture. Running socks have certain attributes that normal socks don’t have. First, they are seamless, which can help to eliminate the rubbing and friction that encourages the formation of blisters. Second, while wearing running socks may not be the same as having insoles, many will contain a compression band that adds support and improves the fit. Third, many running socks also include cushioning for the ball of the foot and the heel. Finally, double-layer socks absorb the friction between the layers rather than on the skin. For more help with this and other ways to prevent running injuries, it is suggested that you make an appointment with a podiatrist.
All runners should take extra precaution when trying to avoid injury. If you have any concerns about your feet, contact Dr. Yeon A. Shim of Roselle Podiatry Group. Our doctor will treat your foot and ankle needs.
How to Prevent Running Injuries
There are a lot of mistakes a runner can make prior to a workout that can induce injury. A lot of athletes tend to overstretch before running, instead of saving those workouts for a post-run routine. Deep lunges and hand-to-toe hamstring pulls should be performed after a workout instead of during a warmup. Another common mistake is jumping into an intense routine before your body is physically prepared for it. You should try to ease your way into long-distance running instead of forcing yourself to rush into it.
More Tips for Preventing Injury
- Incorporate Strength Training into Workouts - This will help improve the body’s overall athleticism
- Improve and Maintain Your Flexibility – Stretching everyday will help improve overall performance
- “Warm Up” Before Running and “Cool Down” Afterward – A warm up of 5-10 minutes helps get rid of lactic acid in the muscles and prevents delayed muscle soreness
- Cross-Training is Crucial
- Wear Proper Running Shoes
- Have a Formal Gait Analysis – Poor biomechanics can easily cause injury

Understanding the Effects of Wearing Flip-Flops
Wearing flip-flops can have significant effects on feet, leading to various issues. The lack of arch support and minimal cushioning can cause strain on the arches, leading to conditions like plantar fasciitis or flat feet. The lack of foot stability and constant gripping of toes to keep the flip-flops in place can result in toe cramps and hammertoes. Additionally, flip-flops offer little protection, making feet vulnerable to injuries like cuts, scrapes, and stubbed toes. To mitigate these effects, opt for supportive and cushioned footwear when engaging in prolonged walking or physical activities. If you experience foot pain or discomfort from wearing flip-flops, it is suggested that you make an appointment with a podiatrist who can address any foot and ankle issues you may have and provide suitable footwear recommendations that promote foot health and overall comfort.
Flip-flops are not always the best choice of footwear. If you have any concerns about your feet or ankles, contact Dr. Yeon A. Shim from Roselle Podiatry Group. Our doctor will assist you with all of your foot and ankle needs.
Flip-Flops and Feet
When the weather starts warming up, people enjoy wearing flip-flops. Flip-flops are comfortable, stylish, and easy to slip on and off; they're perfect for any summer beach goer. However, these shoes can cause harm to the feet.
How Can Flip-Flops Affect Me Long-Term?
- Ankle problems
- Hip problems
- Lower back problems
- Pain in the balls of the feet
- Problems with foot arches
- Changes in the way you walk
Are There Injuries Associated with Flip-Flops?
Yes. Since flip-flops are relatively weak and do not provide the same amount of support as sneakers, people who wear flip-flops regularly are more susceptible to injuries. On top of that, the open nature of the shoe makes your feet more prone to other problems, such as cuts and even infections. Common injuries and ailments include:
- Sprained ankles
- Blisters
- Infections
- Cuts and Scrapes
I like Wearing Flip-Flops. Are There Safe Alternatives?
When buying flip-flops, try to find ones that have sturdy soles and that are made of high-quality materials that will support for your feet. These flip-flops will cost more but will also last longer as a result.

Understanding Foot Ulcers
Foot ulcers are open wounds on the feet resulting from skin breakdown. They may be deep, discolored sores that discharge pus, affecting deeper layers of the skin, and potentially spreading to muscles, tendons, or bones. Often caused by injury, friction, or pressure, ulcers are more likely to develop in people who have diabetes and peripheral neuropathy, which reduces foot sensation and can impede skin healing, raising ulcer risks. These ulcers can be painful. Untreated foot ulcers can lead to infections and complications and require serious medical intervention. To prevent ulcers, wear well-fitting shoes and regularly check your feet. If you have foot wounds, it is suggested that you seek prompt examination and treatment from a podiatrist.
Wound care is an important part in dealing with diabetes. If you have diabetes and a foot wound or would like more information about wound care for diabetics, consult with Dr. Yeon A. Shim from Roselle Podiatry Group. Our doctor will assess your condition and provide you with quality foot and ankle treatment.
What Is Wound Care?
Wound care is the practice of taking proper care of a wound. This can range from the smallest to the largest of wounds. While everyone can benefit from proper wound care, it is much more important for diabetics. Diabetics often suffer from poor blood circulation which causes wounds to heal much slower than they would in a non-diabetic.
What Is the Importance of Wound Care?
While it may not seem apparent with small ulcers on the foot, for diabetics, any size ulcer can become infected. Diabetics often also suffer from neuropathy, or nerve loss. This means they might not even feel when they have an ulcer on their foot. If the wound becomes severely infected, amputation may be necessary. Therefore, it is of the upmost importance to properly care for any and all foot wounds.
How to Care for Wounds
The best way to care for foot wounds is to prevent them. For diabetics, this means daily inspections of the feet for any signs of abnormalities or ulcers. It is also recommended to see a podiatrist several times a year for a foot inspection. If you do have an ulcer, run the wound under water to clear dirt from the wound; then apply antibiotic ointment to the wound and cover with a bandage. Bandages should be changed daily and keeping pressure off the wound is smart. It is advised to see a podiatrist, who can keep an eye on it.

Causes of Pain in the Ball of the Foot
Pain in the ball of the foot, which is the area between the toes and the arch, is termed metatarsalgia. Anything that adds pressure to the ball of the foot, such as dancing, running, yoga, or wearing high heels, can contribute to metatarsalgia. In addition, having high arches, existing foot conditions, excess weight, and aging can also affect the ball of the foot. In some cases, resting the feet and taking pain medication can reduce the effects. But if pain continues, then other factors may need to be considered. For instance, nerve damage, tendonitis, and arthritis may be contributing to this painful condition. Structural factors, such as bunions and hammertoes, may be throwing off the alignment and affecting the ball of the foot. Irritation of the nerves beneath the third and fourth toes may cause Morton’s neuroma, which is sometimes described as having a small pebble in the shoe. This development is more common among women who have been wearing high heels for a prolonged period. If you have increased pain in the ball of the foot, it is suggested that you make an appointment with a podiatrist for an examination and possible treatment options.
Foot Pain
Foot pain can be extremely painful and debilitating. If you have a foot pain, consult with Dr. Yeon A. Shim from Roselle Podiatry Group. Our doctor will assess your condition and provide you with quality foot and ankle treatment.

Aging Affects the Feet
As one ages, their feet also age. A common sign of aging feet is the inability to absorb impact, also termed a loss of springiness. This is the result of loosening of the tendons that hold the arch in place. Additionally, the joints can become less flexible as one ages, especially if osteoarthritis sets in, further reducing the flexibility of the feet. Rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and obesity are other factors that may affect the foot’s suppleness. Another effect of aging is decreased muscle strength. Add to that a natural thinning of the bones, which can become worse by smoking and not intaking adequate vitamin D amounts. This increases the chance of getting stress fractures. Another way that aging affects the feet is a loss of resilience in the skin, which reduces its cushioning. Furthermore, the fat pads, particularly under the ball of the foot and the heel begin to thin out, increasing the chances of having foot pain. Wearing proper footwear is generally the easiest way to lessen the effects of aging on the feet. Shoes with ample cushioning and arch support are essential. For help with foot problems caused by aging, it is suggested that you make an appointment with a podiatrist.
Proper foot care is something many older adults forget to consider. If you have any concerns about your feet and ankles, contact Dr. Yeon A. Shim from Roselle Podiatry Group. Our doctor can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
The Elderly and Their Feet
As we age we start to notice many changes in our body, but the elder population may not notice them right away. Medical conditions may prevent the elderly to take notice of their foot health right away. Poor vision is a lead contributor to not taking action for the elderly.
Common Conditions
- Neuropathy – can reduce feeling in the feet and can hide many life-threatening medical conditions.
- Reduced flexibility – prevents the ability of proper toenail trimming, and foot cleaning. If left untreated, it may lead to further medical issues.
- Foot sores – amongst the older population can be serious before they are discovered. Some of the problematic conditions they may face are:
- Gouging toenails affecting nearby toe
- Shoes that don’t fit properly
- Pressure sores
- Loss of circulation in legs & feet
- Edema & swelling of feet and ankles
Susceptible Infections
Diabetes and poor circulation can cause general loss of sensitivity over the years, turning a simple cut into a serious issue.

Caring for Your Feet When You Have Diabetes
Diabetes is a condition that results in erratic blood sugar levels in the body. It is not an easy disease to navigate. It can have widespread effects on the body, including feeling and blood flow to the feet. Beyond managing blood sugar levels, it is important to examine your feet regularly looking for any cuts, sores, calluses, or changes to your skin or nails. A diabetic can develop neuropathy, making it hard to detect sensations in their extremities, such as pain. If this is difficult to do, a handheld mirror can help, as can asking a family member or care provider for assistance. Participating in regular physical activity and eating healthy can help keep blood sugar within a normal range. Problems brewing on the feet of a diabetic can turn into serious issues with life-threatening consequences. Those with diabetes can develop peripheral artery disease or poor blood flow to the feet, which puts them at risk for foot ulcers, gangrene, and tissue death. If you have diabetes, it is suggested that you visit a podiatrist regularly to have your feet examined as well as obtain prompt treatment for any problems that arise.
Diabetic foot care is important in preventing foot ailments such as ulcers. If you are suffering from diabetes or have any other concerns about your feet, contact Dr. Yeon A. Shim from Roselle Podiatry Group. Our doctor can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetes affects millions of people every year. The condition can damage blood vessels in many parts of the body, especially the feet. Because of this, taking care of your feet is essential if you have diabetes, and having a podiatrist help monitor your foot health is highly recommended.
The Importance of Caring for Your Feet
- Routinely inspect your feet for bruises or sores.
- Wear socks that fit your feet comfortably.
- Wear comfortable shoes that provide adequate support.
Patients with diabetes should have their doctor monitor their blood levels, as blood sugar levels play such a huge role in diabetic care. Monitoring these levels on a regular basis is highly advised.
It is always best to inform your healthcare professional of any concerns you may have regarding your feet, especially for diabetic patients. Early treatment and routine foot examinations are keys to maintaining proper health, especially because severe complications can arise if proper treatment is not applied.

Dealing With Clubfoot in Babies
Clubfoot is a congenital foot defect that can be detected before birth, but usually is diagnosed after the baby is born. Soon thereafter, treatment can begin. A clubfoot, also called talipes, is characterized by the foot pointing down and inward with the sole facing backward. It can affect one or both feet, but is not painful for babies. A treatment called the Ponseti method is frequently the first step in correcting clubfoot. During this process, the baby’s foot is manipulated into the correct position and placed in a cast. The process is repeated frequently as the baby grows. After the cast is permanently removed, minor surgery may be required to loosen the Achilles tendon. After that, the baby will wear special boots to prevent the clubfoot from returning. These boots will be worn daily for three months, and then as the baby ages, the boots are worn at night until they are about five years old. Most babies respond well to this treatment, and begin to walk normally. For further information about clubfoot, it is suggested that you consult a podiatrist.
Congenital foot problems require immediate attention to avoid future complications. If you have any concerns, contact Dr. Yeon A. Shim of Roselle Podiatry Group. Our doctor can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
Congenital foot problems are deformities affecting the feet, toes, and/or ankles that children are born with. Some of these conditions have a genetic cause while others just happen. Some specific foot ailments that children may be born with include clubfeet, polydactyly/macrodactyly, and cleft foot. There are several other foot anomalies that can occur congenitally. What all of these conditions have in common is that a child may experience difficulty walking or performing everyday activities, as well as trouble finding footwear that fits their foot deformity. Some of these conditions are more serious than others. Consulting with a podiatrist as early as possible will help in properly diagnosing a child’s foot condition while getting the necessary treatment underway.
What are Causes of Congenital Foot Problem?
A congenital foot problem is one that happens to a child at birth. These conditions can be caused by a genetic predisposition, developmental or positional abnormalities during gestation, or with no known cause.
What are Symptoms of Congenital Foot Problems?
Symptoms vary by the congenital condition. Symptoms may consist of the following:
- Clubfoot, where tendons are shortened, bones are shaped differently, and the Achilles tendon is tight, causing the foot to point in and down. It is also possible for the soles of the feet to face each other.
- Polydactyly, which usually consists of a nubbin or small lump of tissue without a bone, a toe that is partially formed but has no joints, or an extra toe.
- Vertical talus, where the talus bone forms in the wrong position causing other bones in the foot to line up improperly, the front of the foot to point up, and the bottom of the foot to stiffen, with no arch, and to curve out.
- Tarsal coalition, when there is an abnormal connection of two or more bones in the foot leading to severe, rigid flatfoot.
- Cleft foot, where there are missing toes, a V-shaped cleft, and other anatomical differences.
- Macrodactyly, when the toes are abnormally large due to overgrowth of the underlying bone or soft tissue.
Treatment and Prevention
While there is nothing one can do to prevent congenital foot problems, raising awareness and receiving neonatal screenings are important. Early detection by taking your child to a podiatrist leads to the best outcome possible.

Unsightly Cracked Heels
Having cracked heels is a foot condition that can cause embarrassment. It is defined as cracks that develop in the skin of the heels and may become fissures if conservative treatment does not work. Cracked heels can happen for a variety of reasons, including wearing shoes that have an open back, or standing on hard surfaces for the majority of the day. Additionally, frequently wearing flip-flops may lead to developing cracked heels, as a result of the lack of support most of these types of shoes have. Elderly people may notice they have cracked heels. The heel pads can lose elasticity, possibly causing cracked heels. People who are overweight may also be prone to getting cracked heels, which can be from the extra weight the heels must endure. Relief may be found when the feet are soaked in warm water, followed by applying a good moisturizer on them. If you have cracked heels, it is strongly suggested that you are under the care of a podiatrist who can offer you effective prevention and relief methods.
If the skin on your feet starts to crack, you may want to see a podiatrist to find treatment. If you have any concerns, contact Dr. Yeon A. Shim from Roselle Podiatry Group. Our doctor can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
Cracked Heels
It is important to moisturize your cracked heels in order to prevent pain, bleeding, and infection. The reason cracked heels form is because the skin on the foot is too dry to support the immense pressure placed on them. When the foot expands, the dry skin on the foot begins to split.
Ways to Help Heal Them
- Invest in a good foot cream
- Try Using Petroleum Jelly
- Ease up on Soaps
- Drink Plenty of Water
Ways to Prevent Cracked Heels
- Moisturize After Showering
- Skip a Shower
- Keep Shower Water Lukewarm
- Don’t Scrub Your Feet
If you are unsure how to proceed in treating cracked heels, seek guidance from a podiatrist. Your doctor will help you with any questions or information you may need.
