Podologist in Kyiv

What is podology?
Podology is a branch of medicine that specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of foot and nail diseases. A podologist is a specialist who cares for the nails and skin of the feet, as well as treats problems such as ingrown nails, calluses, cracks, and fungal infections. Unlike an ordinary pedicurist, a podologist approaches these issues from a medical point of view and helps to eliminate not only external defects, but also their causes.

Podology considers the health of the feet as a whole, because the condition of the skin and nails can be associated with internal disorders, such as circulatory or hormonal problems. If necessary, the podologist refers the client to other doctors for additional examination.

What does a podologist treat?
A podologist is a specialist who diagnoses, treats and prevents diseases of the feet and nails. The main problems that are addressed to this specialist include:

Ingrown nails. The problem occurs due to wearing tight shoes, injury, or improper pedicure. The podologist painlessly removes the ingrown nail and installs special staples to correct its shape.

Calluses and corns. They appear due to constant pressure or friction. A podologist removes dead skin with a special device and selects the right care to prevent relapses.

Nail fungus. It is an infectious disease that changes the color, texture, and shape of the nail plate. A podologist cleans the damaged nail, treats it with antiseptics, and selects the appropriate treatment. If necessary, prosthetics of the nail is performed.

Cracks in the heels. They occur due to dry skin, uncomfortable shoes, or prolonged stress. A podologist repairs the cracks, treats the feet with moisturizers, and recommends skin care to restore the skin.

Hyperkeratosis. This is an excessive thickening of the skin that can cause discomfort and pain. The specialist performs hardware treatment of such areas and selects medicinal products for care.

Onychogryphosis. This is a pathology in which the nail plate is significantly thickened and deformed. The podologist removes the thickened part of the nail, treats the area with antiseptics, and helps restore the healthy appearance of the nail plate.

Onycholysis. A disease in which the nail plate detaches from the nail bed. The causes can be trauma, fungal infections, or chemical exposure. A podologist removes the exfoliated areas, treats the nail with antiseptic medications, and stimulates tissue repair.

If you are experiencing discomfort, pain, or aesthetic imperfections, a consultation with a podologist will help you resolve these issues quickly and safely.
