In the wise words of Tailor B. Bunion, not all bunions are created equal. That's not actually a real person, but it turns out that the bunion has a cousin called the bunione tailor's bunion," named after tailors who would sit crossed legged and develop deformities on their pinky toes. If knowing about the different types of bunions our patients develop interests you, you're in luck: https://tinyurl.com/2jdcx5y5

Finding 1 or 2 blisters on your feet after a long day of hiking is as normal as the sun. But let's just say you got a new pair of shoes, and the blisters just keep coming?

This is just one example of how blisters can quickly turn from an occasional nuisance to a chronic problem. That's why we've devised a treatment guide for you to care (and prevent) such blister blunders.

We at Desert Podiatric Medical Specialists always preach to our patients the importance of vigilance; if you feel something is off with your feet, then see the podiatrist. Well, genetics is the ultimate tool for vigilance, so if you know that your mother and grandmother have a history of bunions, then you should try to catch it early if you start to notice a bump.

But that’s just one example. Here are five common foot problems that you likely have in your genetic code (and that you should be on the watch for): https://tinyurl.com/bdfxty8b

You might have noticed that, as we age, many seniors' podiatrists become equally as important as their primary care physicians. If you just thought of an elderly loved one, you might wonder if it's true for them, too. Whether they saw the podiatrist last month or hasn't gone to one in years, here are the main problems we at DPMS could potentially help them prevent: https://tinyurl.com/3w9mm4yp

So much online shopping.... such little time. Remember when we used to go in and actually try on shoes before buying them? In the podiatry world, we're old school. Not because we're nostalgic, but because we genuinely believe that the right fit begins with a good ole' jog down the aisle (minus the awkward stares): https://tinyurl.com/yccmpjth.

You probably spend a lot of time thinking about your heart health, your skin routine, and maybe even your gut health, but how often do you truly check in with your feet?

If your feet are smelling unlike they've ever smelt before, it might not just be due that new pair of socks that was supposedly "moisture wicking" (so much for that). Bacteria, fungi, and even stress could be the cause of your newfound foot odor, which, by reading this article, you can potentially get to the bottom of: https://tinyurl.com/2ss9nxa4

If it's not your weight causing you foot discomfort, it might just be the padding you're walking on throughout the day. The line between foot issues and healthy soles is as thin (or thick) as the cushion your footwear provides. Here's how to tell if your shoes are sabotaging your Saturday's (and what to do about it): https://tinyurl.com/mr46ywz5

Have you noticed those chunky, moon-boot-looking sneakers everywhere lately? ? It seems like everyone from marathon runners to people working at the grocery store has traded in their sleek flats for massive slabs of foam. Is this just the latest fashion statement or will your feet actually thank you for making the switch? The debate between minimalist shoes and maximalist cushioning is not as simple as more foam equals less pain. We at Desert Podiatric Medical Specialists offer guidance in our latest blog https://tinyurl.com/4ehr35m7

If a bunion turns the big toe into a boomerang shape... then can you guess what a hammertoe condition makes your toes look like? A hammer, of course. You might assume this deformity is painful, requires surgery, or exclusive to old folks. Or, you might have heard from your grandpa that hammertoes "run in the family." Well, just like we debunked fungal toenail myths, we're here to put the hammertoe misconceptions to shame, too: https://tinyurl.com/ppf8m4ta
