Hard skin, corns and callus build up over high pressure areas on the foot. They can be caused by your footwear and/or your foot anatomy.

An ingrown toe nail is one that pierces the skin surrounding the nail. It can be extremely painful. In more severe cases, it can cause pus and bleeding requiring antibiotics.

Thickened fungal nails can be thinned down to improve their appearance and comfort. Advice regarding treatment will be given during the appointment.
Verrucae are warts which usually develop on the sole of the foot. Most will resolve themselves within 18months to 2 years. Others, particularly those on weight-bearing areas can be painful often due to the buildup of hard skin over the surface.
Ear wax is necessary for healthy ears and hearing, and it usually falls out on its own. However, if it does not fall out, it can buildup and block your ear canal.
Symptoms of ear wax buildup include:
· Hearing loss
· Earache or a feeling that your ears are blocked
· Ringing or buzzing in your ears
· Vertigo (feeling dizzy or sick)
If your symptoms have not cleared after 5 days, the earwax may need to be removed by Micro-suction.

Nail surgery is a permanent solution to ingrowing toenails and other painful nail conditions. It involves the removal of part (partial) or all (total) of the problematic nail. The procedure is carried out under a local anaesthetic. This procedure should take approximately an hour, following which you will be advised to rest with your feet up for the day. It is not usually necessary to take time off work but this will depend on your occupation.
