TORONTO CHIROPODIST DISCUSSES FOOT DISEASES SWIMMERS SHOULD GUARD AGAINST

TORONTO CHIROPODIST AND FOOT SPECIALIST, MAR HARDY, D. Ch., B.Sc., PODIATRIC MEDICINE STATES THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF FOOT AILMENTS THAT ARISE AS A RESULT OF HAVING WET FEET OR WALKING IN COMMUNAL AREAS SUCH AS LOCKER ROOMS AND SWIMMING POOL PLATFORMS.  FOR INSTANCE, HPV, THE HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS, CAN EASILY BE CONTRACTED IN THESE ENVIRONMENTS AND CAUSE PLANTAR WARTS.  FUNGAL NAILS ALSO DEVELOP AS A RESULT OF PICKING UP FUNGAS FROM THESE AREAS.

IF YOU LOVE TO SWIM, TRY TO WEAR SOMETHING ON YOUR FEET AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WHEN YOU EXIT THE POOL.  TRY TO KEEP YOUR FEET DRY WITH A SIMPLE TOWEL RUB.  IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE ARE SUFFERING FROM EITHER OF THESE CONDITIONS, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT MY FOO CLINIC AT 416-465-8737.
