Cosmetic and Aesthetic Podiatry

Dr Foot Podiatry, Foot Care & Health Care Podcast

Just the mere mention of cosmetic and aesthetic podiatry is often looked down upon by podiatrists, however if a patient is so conscious of their feet that they hide their feet 24/7 all year around, always wear socks even when in doors regardless of how hot it is, avoid showing their feet to anybody including their partners and I have known patients who have avoided going on holiday to a warm location because they are so conscious of their feet!! Then podiatrists need to be able to offer a solution! We need to take the patients “feelings” into consideration, just because the patient is not in physical “pain” doesn’t mean they are not in emotional turmoil over the appearance of their feet. This video addresses my feelings on this topic and what podiatrists and podiatric surgeons can do to help patients.
