A wart is an area of thick, dead skin usually found at the bottom of the
foot or between the toes. It is often confused with a callus. Warts are caused
by the human papilloma virus (HPV) and differ from a corn or callus in that the
skin lines disappear in warts while in calluses or corns, the skin lines can be
seen. It can be painful when the wart appears at the bottom of the foot. There
are many treatments available. Consult a doctor for what is best for you.
Examples are salicylic acid application, creams, or freezing the wart with
nitrogen and peeling it off.
Cracked heels
Heels crack due to dryness and irritation. There are many things you can do
to help reduce cracked heels, such as using moisturizers and creams on your
heels and using backless shoes. For severely cracked heels, there are
prescription creams with acids in them that will help eat away the dead skin. A
good trick is to apply a heavy cream such as Vaseline on the heels and to wear
socks over the cream while you sleep. You will see a great improvement after a
few days.
Deformed pinky toe
Sometimes, your shortest toe, called the pinky toe, acquires a strange
shape. Its sides are flat, it does not look like a normal toe, and the toenail
is very tiny. You can have your pinky toe surgically reshaped through cosmetic
surgery. A lot of women who want to wear open-toed shoes or sandals do it. Toes
can be reshaped, but not much can be done for the toenails. Recovery is fast.
You can wear a sneaker after three to four weeks and use your normal shoes on
the sixth week after a toe-reshaping procedure. You can also have your toes
shortened or even lengthened to make them really look beautiful and perfect.
