IT’S NATIONAL FOOT HEALTH WEEK! AND... in addition to checking your feet for signs of Melanoma - we are supporting the College of Podiatry in Introducing this year’s theme: “The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering”. Seriously check it out - some amazing information EVERYONE should know! https://rcpod.org.uk/fhw

CHECKING YOUR FEET FOR SIGNS OF MELANOMA!
Unlike other 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.

As people with dark skin tones are less prone to other forms of melanoma, ALM is the most common 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 with a smooth surface at first, later becoming 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!

It’s a big day for Podiatry in Singapore today. Helen was one of the pioneer podiatrists in Singapore, the 6th to arrive in 1995, and worked here nearly 28 years. She initially worked in and set up departments in three government hospitals as well as working in the poly clinics, before moving into private practice. Rob is rapidly clocking up years of service too having been here 28 years.

Dear Fellow Podiatrists,

Happy 30th Podiatry Day of Singapore!

It is my honour to represent the association and the public to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for your outstanding dedication and hard work in promoting foot and lower limb health in our community.

Your tireless commitment and expertise have been instrumental in advancing podiatric medicine in Singapore and providing excellent care to patients with various foot and lower limb conditions. Your compassion and professionalism have made a real difference in the lives of many individuals, and we are grateful for your contributions.

As we commemorate this special day, I encourage you to continue your passion and take pride in all aspects of your work. I am confident that together, we can further advance the field of podiatry and improve the health and well-being of Singaporeans.

I would like to also invite all Singaporeans to join us in recognising and thanking our podiatrists for their invaluable contributions to our healthcare system. If you or you know someone who has benefited from the help of our Podiatrists, please leave us a message below! Let us come together to show our appreciation and raise awareness of Podiatry in Singapore!

Once again, on behalf of the Podiatry Association (Singapore), I wish all our Podiatrists a very happy Podiatry Day. Let us continue working together to promote healthy feet and lower limbs.

Look out for recurrent knee and back pain that may be stemming from biomechanical problems in the feet!

Flat feet are commonly talked about but what many people don't realise is that it can be the root problem causing nagging lower back and knee pain and shin pain. We know how these nagging pains can drag you down and limit you doing the activities you love and enjoying your daily activities. If you s...
