Morton’s Neuroma Treatment - Podiatrist in Palm Harbor and Tarpon Springs, FL - Allan Rothschild, DPM

Dr. Allan Rothschild Foot and Ankle Specialist discusses the symptoms, causes and treatments for Morton’s neuroma.
 Neuromas are enlarged benign growths of nerves, most commonly between the third and fourth toes. They are caused by tissue rubbing against and irritating the nerves. Pressure from poorly-fitting shoes or abnormal bone structure can create the condition as well. Treatments include special shoes or inserts and/or cortisone injections, but surgical removal of the growth is sometimes necessary.

Palm Harbor and Tarpon Springs, FL - Ingrown Toenail - Allan Rothschild, DPM



­­­­­Ingrown Toenail Treatment - Podiatrist in Palm Harbor and Tarpon Springs, FL - Allan Rothschild, DPM

Dr Allan Rothschild Foot and Ankle Specialist discusses the symptoms, causes and treatments for Ingrown Toenails
  What is an Ingrown Toenail?
Ingrown toenails often are the result of trimming your toenails too short, particularly on the sides of your big toes.
While they are very common, ingrown toenails can also be very painful. When trimming your nails, avoid tapering the corners so that the nail curves with the shape of your toe. The sides of the nail will curl down and dig into your skin. Shoes that are too tight or short also may cause ingrown toenails.
Ingrown toenails start out hard, swollen and tender, and later, may become sore, red and infected. Your skin may start to grow over the ingrown toenail.
Soaking your foot in warm, soapy water several times each day is usually a good way to treat an ingrown nail. We recommend that you visit our office and let Dr. Rothschild determine the best course of treatment for your condition.
Antibiotics are sometimes prescribed if an infection is present. Part of your ingrown toenail (partial nail plate avulsion) may need to be surgically removed if an acute infection occurs. The procedure involves injecting the toe with an anesthetic and cutting out the ingrown part of the toenail.
You can prevent ingrown toenails by:
  • Trimming your toenails straight across with no rounded corners.
  • Ensuring that your shoes and socks are not too tight.
  • Keeping your feet clean at all times.
