Some of the more common foot problems are corns, calluses and fungal nails.
Corns and calluses are hardened areas of skin which can create painful pressure points, affecting the way we walk. Fungal nails can be brittle and tear easily.
Thickened, hard nails are difficult to cut and can put added pressure on the toe if the nail is not trimmed.
Ingrown toenails are another common problem, usually associated with trimming the nails too short. These nails can create a lot of pain and could lead to infection if left untreated.

Some complications from conditions such as diabetes and poor circulation can reduce blood flow and sensation to the feet as well as lead to fragile skin and brittle nails.
Additionally, anyone who has limited range of motion due to arthritis, joint injury or surgery, may find managing their own foot care difficult.
These complications can put the individual at high risk for foot injury and should have a medical professional manage their foot care.
