🔥 Warm, swollen, or red foot with little pain?
This may be Charcot Foot, a serious condition affecting people with neuropathy or diabetes.

Because neuropathy reduces pain sensation, injuries often go unnoticed. Over time, this leads to:
• Bone weakening
• Joint collapse
• Severe foot deformity
• High risk of ulcers & infection

Warning signs:
✔ Sudden warmth in the foot
✔ Rapid swelling
✔ Redness or inflammation
✔ Reduced pain due to nerve damage

Early diagnosis is essential. When treated promptly, Charcot progression can be controlled to protect the foot and prevent permanent damage.

🎄 Struggling with foot odor this holiday season?
Warm winter boots and cold weather often lead to increased sweating. When moisture becomes trapped, bacteria break it down — causing strong foot odor.

Foot odor is very common in winter, especially for those who wear insulated or waterproof boots for long hours.

Here’s how to manage it:
🧦 Wear breathable socks
💧 Use moisture-control products
🦠 Try antibacterial foot treatments
🦶 Practice daily hygiene
🥾 Let boots dry fully between wears

If odor persists or is accompanied by irritation, peeling skin, or infections, a podiatric evaluation may be helpful.

🎄 Fix hammertoes and bunions before the holidays — with tiny incisions and faster recovery.
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is an advanced method that corrects bunions and hammertoes using precise techniques that reduce pain, swelling, and downtime.

✨ Benefits of MIS include:
• Small incisions
• No stitches
• No exposed pins
• Faster healing
• Minimal scarring
• Quicker return to holiday activities

If you’re struggling with walking, shoe pressure, or painful toe deformities, MIS may be the best option for restoring foot alignment and comfort.

🎄 Bruised or dark toenail this holiday season?
You may be experiencing holiday nail trauma, often caused by heavy gift boxes, tight shoes, or accidental impacts during holiday activities.

A dark or painful toenail can indicate:
• Blood trapped under the nail
• Nail plate separation
• Tenderness or swelling
• Increased bacterial risk
• Difficulty walking

A podiatrist can safely drain the nail, reduce pressure, prevent infection, and guide nail regrowth.

Don’t try to puncture or cut the nail at home — professional evaluation is the safest option.

❄️ Hello December!
As temperatures drop, your feet work harder to stay warm and protected. Cold weather can reduce circulation, increase dryness, cause cracked heels, and trigger discomfort — especially for individuals with diabetes, neuropathy, or sensitive skin.

Here’s how to keep your feet safe this winter:
🧦 Wear warm, insulated socks
🥾 Choose waterproof, supportive winter shoes
💧 Moisturize daily to prevent dryness
⚠️ Watch for numbness, color changes, or cracking
🩺 Seek podiatric care for persistent coldness or pain

Dr. Amir Lebaschi, DPM offers expert winter foot evaluations to ensure your feet stay healthy all season long.

✔ Spread to other toes

🚨 Your shoes might be hurting your toes more than helping your look!

👟 A narrow or tight toebox squeezes your toes, damages nerves, and causes serious pain over time. Think bunions, corns, hammertoes, and chronic soreness.

⚠️ Look for these red flags:
• Pinched or red toes
• Pain near the nail or ball of the foot
• Blisters or friction spots
• Calluses around toes

👣 Make the switch to wider, supportive shoes — and let your toes breathe!

📍 Get evaluated by a podiatrist to prevent long-term deformities.
