Ingrown Toenails & Foot Blisters

Ingrown toenails and blisters are common foot problems that can be painful and disrupt daily life—but both are treatable and preventable.

Ingrown Toenails

When the nail grows into the skin, causing pain, redness, swelling, or infection.
Causes: improper trimming, tight shoes, genetics, or injury.

Blisters

Fluid-filled skin pockets from friction and moisture, often caused by new or ill-fitting shoes or heavy activity.

Treatment

Ingrown nails: soaking, proper care, antibiotics, or a quick in-office procedure if needed.

Blisters: keep small ones intact and covered; larger or painful blisters may need professional care.

Prevention

Trim nails straight, wear roomy shoes, keep feet dry, break in new footwear slowly, and check your feet regularly.

Foot pain isn’t normal. If symptoms persist, our team is here to help.

Morton’s Neuroma & Metatarsal Pain

Burning, tingling, or the feeling of a pebble in your shoe may be Morton’s neuroma—irritation of a nerve between the toes, often caused by tight shoes, high-impact activity, or foot imbalances.

Symptoms

Burning or sharp pain in the ball of the foot

Tingling or numbness between toes

“Pebble in the shoe” sensation

Treatment

Most cases improve without surgery using wider shoes, custom orthotics, padding, anti-inflammatory care, or injections. Surgery is considered only if pain persists.

Cold Feet? It Could Be a Sign of Poor Circulation

If your feet stay cold even when you’re warm, your circulation might be the cause. Reduced blood flow can lead to tingling, numbness, or slow-healing wounds—and may signal peripheral artery disease (PAD) or diabetes.

Common Causes:
PAD, diabetes, neuropathy, Raynaud’s disease, smoking, or inactivity.

What to Do:
Don’t ignore constant cold feet. Stay active, quit smoking, manage blood sugar and blood pressure, and see a doctor if symptoms persist.

At Florida Foot & Ankle Associates, Dr. Alan MacGill and his team specialize in diagnosing and treating circulation-related foot issues, helping patients restore comfort and protect long-term foot health.

Bunions & Hammertoes: Relief That Fits You

Foot pain from bunions or hammertoes can make walking or standing tough. At Florida Foot & Ankle, Dr. Alan MacGill and our team offer both non-surgical and surgical solutions to help you move comfortably again.

Non-Surgical Relief
Supportive shoes, custom orthotics, padding, stretches, and anti-inflammatory meds often ease pain and prevent worsening.

When Surgery’s Needed
If pain persists or deformity progresses, surgery can realign joints and restore comfort. Recovery takes time, but walking pain-free again is worth it.

Bottom Line
You don’t have to live with foot pain. Whether through simple changes or surgery, Florida Foot & Ankle can help you stay active and comfortable.

Children and adolescents often participate in high-impact sports, activities, or play that puts strain on their growing bodies—especially their feet. While occasional aches and pains are normal, persistent heel pain in active kids can be a sign of something more specific: Sever’s disease.

Sever’s disease, medically known as calcaneal apophysitis, is one of the most common causes of heel pain in children, particularly those between the ages of 8 and 14 who are physically active. Though the name might sound alarming, Sever’s disease isn’t a disease in the traditional sense—it’s a temporary growth-related condition that affects the heel’s growth plate.

Your feet and ankles are the foundation of your mobility, supporting your body with every step. Whether you’re walking, running, or standing for long periods, these areas endure a significant amount of stress daily.

Unfortunately, many people overlook the importance of warming up their feet and ankles before engaging in physical activities or even before starting their day.

Neglecting proper warm-ups can lead to stiffness, reduced flexibility, and an increased risk of injuries such as sprains, strains, or chronic pain.

Diabetes affects millions of people worldwide, and one of the most common complications of the condition is diabetic foot problems. High blood sugar levels can cause nerve damage, poor circulation, and an increased risk of infection, all of which can have severe consequences for your feet. If left untreated, these complications can lead to infections, ulcers, and even amputation. That’s why regular visits to a foot doctor are essential for anyone living with diabetes.

You may not always feel the early signs of foot problems, especially if diabetic neuropathy has already affected your nerves. This is why it’s crucial to have a foot doctor regularly examine your feet. But what exactly happens during these visits, and why are they so important? Continue reading to learn more about the risks of untreated diabetic foot problems, the vital role of routine foot exams, and how regular visits to a podiatrist can keep your feet healthy and prevent long-term complications.

Feet are more than just the foundation of the body. They support everything your child does, from running and playing to simply standing. And for you, as a parent, it’s natural to worry about your child’s health, and their feet are no exception. But did you know that children’s feet are different from adults’ feet?

They’re not just a miniature version of yours. They’re still growing, and their structure can be more vulnerable to certain conditions. What might seem like a small issue today could lead to a bigger problem as they continue to grow.

Fortunately, many foot problems in children can be treated non-invasively. But in some cases, surgery may be a necessary next step. In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at common foot conditions in children, when surgery might be required, and what to expect during the process.
