A Variety of Skin & Nail Care Solutions

At Swan Podiatry and Orthotics, with clinics in both Darwin and Katherine, we understand that maintaining healthy skin and nails is vital for your overall well-being and comfort. Our general podiatry services cater to a wide range of common skin and nail concerns, promoting healthy and pain-free feet.

Our podiatrists are experienced in diagnosing and treating conditions like painful corns, which are small, hardened areas of skin that can cause discomfort when pressure is applied. We also provide effective solutions for rough or calloused skin, which develops due to friction or pressure, restoring smoothness and comfort to your feet.

Cracked heels, though often considered a cosmetic issue, can become painful and may lead to infections if untreated.

We offer targeted treatments to alleviate this condition while offering advice on prevention. Plantar warts, caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), are another issue we address, using various treatment methods to clear them up and protect your foot health. We also provide comprehensive care for fungal nail infections and Athlete’s Foot, helping to relieve discomfort and restore the health of your skin and nails.

Nail & Skin Treatments for Healthy Feet

In addition to treating conditions like corns, warts and fungal infections, we address other skin and nail concerns that can affect your foot health. Excessively dry or sweaty skin can lead to irritation or infection, and our podiatrists provide tailored treatments to help balance your skin’s moisture levels. Thickened or deformed toenails, which can cause discomfort and affect the appearance of your feet, are also expertly managed by our team. We offer relief and improve both the function and appearance of your nails.

As we age, maintaining nail hygiene can become more difficult, and trimming toenails can be a challenge. Our podiatry services help with nail care for people of all ages, ensuring that even 'tricky' nails are kept in top condition.

Don’t let skin and nail issues affect your comfort or confidence. Book a general treatments appointment with our dedicated team, who are here to provide comprehensive, friendly care for your feet. Prioritise your foot health at our clinic, where your well-being comes first, allowing you to move through life with ease and comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Make an Enquiry

What can I do to prevent common foot skin conditions like corns and calluses?

To prevent corns and calluses, it’s important to wear properly fitting shoes that offer adequate support and cushioning. Avoid tight or high-heeled shoes that cause excessive friction. Regularly moisturising your feet can help keep your skin soft and prevent dryness, which can lead to cracks or hard skin. If you notice persistent pain or discomfort, consult a podiatrist for personalised advice and treatment.
How do podiatrists treat ingrown toenails?

Podiatrists treat ingrown toenails by carefully trimming the nail and, if necessary, removing a portion of it to relieve pressure and prevent further complications. For more severe cases, a minor surgical procedure may be recommended to prevent the ingrown nail from recurring. It’s important to address ingrown toenails early to avoid infection and more serious issues.
What are the best ways to maintain healthy toenails?

Maintaining healthy toenails involves trimming them regularly, keeping them clean and wearing shoes that provide enough room for your toes to move freely. Avoid cutting nails too short or rounding the edges, as this can lead to ingrown nails. Keeping your feet dry and clean also helps prevent fungal infections. If you notice changes in nail colour, thickness or texture, a podiatrist can provide appropriate care.
How can I care for cracked heels?

Cracked heels can often be managed by moisturising your feet regularly with a foot cream or lotion. Avoid standing for long periods on hard surfaces, and wear shoes that provide cushioning and support. For severe or painful cracks, a podiatrist can recommend treatments like debridement or specialised creams to promote healing. Ignoring cracked heels can lead to infection, so seeking early treatment is important.
