What are the warning signs of foot problems?
If there are signs of redness in any part of the foot or leg, or if the foot feels warmer than usual, this might indicate infection of inflammation, which needs prompt professional attention. Awareness of pain and injury may be diminished, so inspect the inside of your shoes daily for objects like nails or torn linings, which might cut the skin. You should urgently consult your podiatrist or seek medical attention, if you see in your feet a break in the skin or a discharge, a change in colour (redder, bluer, paler, blacker over part or all of foot) or new swelling in your feet.
