The winter months can bring a host of foot and ankle skin issues—from dryness and cracking to fungal infections and calluses. As the holidays approach, the last thing you need is discomfort that slows you down. Oklahoma Foot & Ankle Associates, led by our expert podiatrists Drs. Gordon Bean, Armando Carro, Scott Morris, and Steve Walker, is here to ensure your feet stay healthy and pain-free all season long.
Common Skin Conditions We Treat in the Winter
Winter weather can trigger or worsen a variety of skin conditions that affect your feet and ankles. Here’s a look at some common issues we treat:
- Dermatitis – Inflammation of the skin, often triggered by cold weather, lotions, or even certain fabrics.
- Calluses – Cold, dry air can lead to thickened skin on the bottom of your feet, causing discomfort and friction.
- Corns – These painful, thickened areas of skin on your toes are often exacerbated by poorly fitting shoes during the winter months.
- Athlete’s Foot (Fungal Infections) – Wet, sweaty socks in cold weather environments can cause fungal infections, leading to itching and irritation between your toes.
- Ingrown Toenails – Tight boots or shoes can cause toenails to grow into the surrounding skin, leading to infection.
- Warts – The cold months don’t stop the spread of warts. Left untreated, they can multiply and become a nuisance.
