💥 Ingrown nails hurt — no doubt about it!
I know the idea of having one treated (or even touched) can feel a little scary. That’s why I always suggest taking an ibuprofen about 30 minutes before your appointment. Not only does it ease the pain in your feet and toes, it also helps calm down inflammation so the treatment feels much more comfortable. 💊✨

Okay, maybe it’s my little obsession… but I can’t help checking out every foot and toenail I see 👀😂
This summer I even spotted some very questionable ones at the Museum of the Lost Tales in Zagreb. Definitely overdue for a trim!

But seriously—how long should toenails be?
👉 Too short = risk of infection + painful ingrown nails.
👉 Too long = perfect hiding spot for dirt and moisture (hello fungus 👋), not to mention bruises and pressure from shoes.

The sweet spot? Keep them neat, with just a little free edge showing. Balance is key! ⚖️

Not sure what’s right for you? Pop into the clinic and let’s have a chat 💬🦶

Please check your feet regularly 👣🙏🏼

‼ Unlike other forms of melanoma, Acral Lentiginous Melanoma (ALM) is usually located on the palms of hands and soles of feet. ALM is the only type of melanoma which arises equally across all skin types and is frequently observed in darker skin types. ALM can advance faster than other melanoma, becoming quickly invasive.

‼ People with dark or black skin are less prone to melanoma, but ALM is the most commonly diagnosed melanoma in people with these skin types.

‼ ALM sometimes develops from an existing mole, but It can also occur seemingly out of nowhere on healthy skin.

‼ ALM often appear as a black discolouration, but can be very subtle such as an ill defined patch of light brown-grey, discoloured skin that can look like a stain or a bruise (not obviously cause by trauma), that won’t heal.

‼ In addition to the ‘ABCDE’ of melanoma, look out for a slowly enlarging flat patch of discoloured skin. It may have smooth surface at first and become thicker with an irregular surface that may be dry or warty.

‼ THE ‘ABCDE’ TOOL: Asymmetric / Border irregularity / Colour variation / Diameter > 6mm / Evolution

‼ DISCOLOURATION: Ill-defined patch, stain or bruise with variable pigmentation (brown, blue-grey, black and red)

‼ EVOLUTION: Smooth at first, becoming thicker. May be dry, warty, ulcerated or bleeding.

‼ If you detect anything of this nature - seek immediate advice from your GP or a dermatologist.

‼ EARLY DETECTION SAVES LIVES!

In this heat and absolutely gorgeous sunshine please DON’T FORGET YOUR FEET! 👣

We all know to use a sunscreen all over the body, but how many of us remember to put it on the feet? And how many put on the SOLES of the feet?
Hands up who does? ☀️👣😀

Let’s talk about ingrown toenails 👣
They’re more common than you think—and yes, they can be really painful.
Sometimes they run in the family, but did you know warm weather can also play a part?

With this beautiful weather, we’re all out walking and running more (which is great!)—but closed shoes + swollen feet = the perfect setup for toenails to press into the skin. Ouch.

✨ If you’re experiencing discomfort or pain, don’t wait—it’s easier to treat than you think.
📩 Send me a message or book your appointment today and let’s get you back on your feet, pain-free!
