Though they can be painful, bunions are a common condition reported by more than 3 million Americans each year. The bony protrusion, which develops inside your foot on the big toe joint, puts pressure on your big toe causing it to lean towards your second toe.
While varicose veins can occur anywhere in the body, they are most commonly found in the lower legs. These large protruding veins are extremely common, affecting about 20-30% of the general adult population, and even at a higher rate the older individuals.

One of the most common causes of pain in the heel of the foot is plantar fasciitis (Plan-tur Fas-e-I-tis). The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissues that is located on the bottom of the foot, connecting the heel bone to the toes. When this band of tissues becomes irritated and inflamed it is known as the plantar fasciitis.
Nobody wants toe fungus. It can cause your toenails to smell, become misshapen or turn yellow. Despite the unsightly symptoms, there’s no reason to be ashamed of the fungus, as there are over three million cases of it each year. Though seeking toe fungus treatment from your podiatrist is not always necessary, you may want to consider it if your condition is not responding to at-home treatments.
