What the visit includes
An exam of the nail or skin concern, an explanation of what it is, and your options. Treatment is done at the visit when appropriate. Some conditions, like a changing spot or a nail that might be fungal, are best confirmed with a lab test first.
If you have diabetes or neuropathy, don't cut corns or ingrown nails yourself or use medicated corn pads. Small wounds on numb feet can become serious.
For nail and skin concerns, a video visit through telehealth may also be an option.
