Skin and Nail Disorders of the Foot
Get Back to Healthy, Clear Skin and Nails
Expert Diagnosis and Treatment of Common and Complex Foot Conditions
Skin and nail conditions are among the most common reasons patients visit a podiatrist. Whether it’s thickened toenails, foot rashes, wounds, discoloration, or growths, our team at SoCal Foot and Ankle Doctors provides accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for a wide range of dermatological issues affecting the feet.
Located in Santa Monica and the Cedars-Sinai Medical Towers, we combine medical expertise with advanced technology — including skin biopsies, ultrasound imaging, laser treatments, and topical regenerative therapies — to restore skin and nail health from the inside out.
Common Skin and Nail Conditions We Treat
???? Fungal Toenails (Onychomycosis)
Thickened, discolored, brittle nails caused by fungal infection. We offer in-office treatment options including CN-U Nail Solution (available for purchase), topical therapy, oral antifungals, and nail debridement.
???? Athlete’s Foot (Tinea Pedis)
Red, itchy, scaly skin — often between the toes or on the sole. We provide prescription-strength antifungals and custom prevention plans.
???? Warts (Verruca Plantaris)
Caused by HPV and commonly appear on the soles. Treated with cryotherapy, topical acids, or radiofrequency ablation.
???? Corns and Calluses
Thickened skin from pressure or friction. Treated through debridement, padding, and orthotic correction.
???? Ingrown Toenails
Painful, curved nails growing into the skin. Treated with in-office nail removal and preventive nail care.
???? Toenail Trauma & Hematomas
Caused by stubbing, tight shoes, or sports injuries. May require nail removal and wound care.
???? Eczema & Psoriasis of the Feet
Flaky, itchy skin treated with custom dermatological therapy plans.
???? Diabetic Skin Issues & Ulcers
We provide advanced wound care, biopsy if needed, and vascular testing to improve healing outcomes.
???? Hyperkeratosis & Lichenification
Thick, rough skin due to chronic inflammation or pressure — commonly on the heels.
???? Skin Growths or Discoloration
We evaluate any suspicious lesions and perform skin biopsies in-office to rule out skin cancer or other conditions.
Advanced Skin & Nail Care Options
???? Skin Biopsy (Shave or Punch)
Performed in-office for persistent rashes, discolorations, or suspicious growths.
???? Antifungal Topicals: CN-U Nail Solution
A physician-dispensed topical antifungal that effectively treats fungal nails and nail discoloration. Ask to see it during your visit.
???? Laser Therapy
Used for fungal nails, skin rejuvenation, or scar remodeling.
???? Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (Referral-Based)
For complex ulcers and chronic wounds that fail to heal due to poor oxygenation.
???? Shockwave Therapy
Stimulates healing in chronic inflammatory skin and tissue conditions like plantar fasciitis and ulcers.
