I recently read an article about a new product created in Cleveland, Ohio.  "Nail creations" is a latex-free adhesive that can be trimmed, shaped and painted to cover up damaged toenails.

Often times patients are embarrassed by the way their toenails look.  The nail is thick, discolored and sometimes all together missing.  These nail changes may be due to a fungal infection or repetitive microtrauma.  Several of our patients who are runners end up loosing their toenails simply from the underside of the shoe rubbing on the nail plate.

If a patient is prescribed a medication by their doctor, this doesn't mean that that they have to stay at home with their feet covered.   "Nail creations" can be applied to one or all of the nails and will stay on for 1-2 days if a patient wants to wear sandals.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN from all of us at Foot Care Centers!!

Do you or someone you know suffer from sweaty, smelly feet?  Well we have just the treat... Bromi-Lotion.  This convenience item, available at Foot Care Centers, is unique among antiperspirants in that it is formulated as a soothing lotion, rather than as a spray or roll-on.

Fungus and warts thrive in moist environments.  A sweaty foot in a sock and shoe is a perfect setting for nail fungus, althete's foot and viral infections to thrive.

Try Mycomist in combination with Bromi-Lotion.  

Mycomist spray is a disinfectant specially formulated to kill odor causing germs.  Simply spray your shoes and/or boots with Mycomist and enlcose in plastic bag for 24 hours.  For best results use spray 2-3 times per week and alternate shoes.
