NY Foot and Ankle Clinic | Poor Circulation, Corns and Infections of Bone  Osteomyelitis  or Soft Tissue

Infections

Foot and ankle infections can range from mild to severe and should never be ignored. These infections may affect the skin, nails, or deeper tissues and bones, often developing due to injuries, cuts, ingrown toenails, fungal overgrowth, or complications from diabetes. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing complications and promoting healing.

Common types of foot infections include:

  • Fungal infections (like athlete’s foot or toenail fungus)
  • Bacterial infections from wounds or ulcers
  • Paronychia (nail fold infection)
  • Cellulitis (skin and soft tissue infection)
  • Abscesses and infected blisters

Our team offers prompt evaluation and treatment for all types of infections. Depending on the severity, care may involve topical or oral antibiotics, antifungal medications, wound care, drainage of abscesses, or debridement. For patients with diabetes or circulation issues, extra precautions are taken to prevent serious complications.

If you notice redness, swelling, warmth, pus, or increased pain in your feet or toes, don’t wait—seek care right away to stop the spread of infection and protect your health.
