Signs of trouble

Contact your healthcare professional if your feet have:

• Ingrown toenails.
• Blisters.
• Flesh-colored bumps with dark specks, called plantar warts, on the bottoms of your feet.
• Athlete's foot.
• An open sore or bleeding.
• Swelling, pain, warmth or change in skin color.
• A bad smell.
• A sore that is slow to heal or lasts longer than 1 to 2 weeks.
• A sore that gets bigger.
• A sore so deep you can see the bone under it.

Your healthcare professional can look at your feet to figure out what's wrong and prescribe treatment.
