Jan David Tepper DPM's Expert Contributions

    Treated early with correct diagnosis surgery can be avoided however without an accurate diagnosis appropriate treatment is unlikely increasing likelihood that surgery may be necessary at some point READ MORE

  • Can a podiatrist perform surgery?

    Yes podiatrists can perform foot and ankle surgery depending on the experience training and what the state allows where he or she practices. READ MORE

  • What can be the cause of my toe pain?

    Yes with redness and unexplained pain you should go see a foot Doctor READ MORE

  • What causes toenails to be thick and yellow?

    Thickened discolored nails could be from poor circulation, trauma or any of the skin diseases can cause nail changes. READ MORE

  • How can I treat an ingrown toenail?

    Epsom salt soaks and topical antibiotics.  If it hurts enough to trim it out you will likely make it worse, so just go to a specialist and have he or she advise you how to take care of it before it gets an infection and it becomes an emergency READ MORE

  • What are the best creams for toenail fungus?

    There aren't any creams that have been proven to work for toenail fungus READ MORE

  • Is the pain in my toe because of an ingrown toenail?

    The pressure of the nail against the skin maintains the nail groove. If you cut down into the nail groove the skin will overgrow the groove and as the new nail grows in it will pierce the skin causing an infection. If you have pain in the area you can soak in Epsom salts let the nail grow out. If pain persists see a Podiatrist and get professional help before you create a worse problem requiring surgery to alleviate your pain and infection READ MORE

  • What is the best way to treat ingrown toenails?

    At home, you can try to trim the nail soak toe with Epsom salts and use topical antibiotic like Betadine. If that’s unsuccessful, seek the help of a health care provider; your local podiatrist is your foot and ankle specialist. READ MORE

  • Why is one of my toes smaller than the others?

    An X-ray can tell you where the discrepancy is. However, this in many cases is a brachymetapody, or short metatarsal, that in most cases is not symptomatic. The metatarsal is the long bone the toe sits on, and sometimes this bone is abnormally short. READ MORE

  • How do ingrown toenails get infected?

    The pressure of the nail against the skin will maintain a nail groove. When you cut your nails you should go straight across and never invade the nail groove, as you would if you round the toenail, as you do for a fingernail. If you cut out the ingrown toenail down where the nail groove is and you remove the nail the skin will overgrow where the nail was and as the new nail grows in it will cut into the skin laying the groundwork for an infection boarder is removed. Once you get an infection, the body perceives the nail as a foreign body and infection will not resolve until the offending nail is removed. READ MORE

  • Why is the top of my left foot swollen?

    If it is in the joint, it could be acute arthritis. If it is slightly further back on the foot, it could be a stress fracture or an insect bite. READ MORE

  • Should I try to remove a toenail?

    Cut off the part of the nail that is no longer attached. The part that is attached would be painful to remove without anesthetic. See a doctor if you are a diabetic, have no feeling, poor blood supply, or if signs of infection are present. READ MORE

  • What can I do about my nail infection?

    There are different types of infections involving the nail and surrounding soft tissue structures. Infection of the soft tissues adjacent to the nail are usually bacterial and involve redness swelling pain and sometimes drainage. It is those acute infections where the body treats the nail as a foreign body and the infection will likely not go away unless you remove the offending nail border. But if that is all you do, the skin will overgrow the nail groove and recurrence of the ingrown toenail is likely unless, after the infection is resolved, the nail in this area is removed permanently, as the pressure of the nail against the skin maintains the nail groove. Cutting the nail in the nail groove and tight shoes both contribute to ingrown toenails. READ MORE

  • Can tight shoes cause corns on my feet?

    Yes tight shoes will cause corns, wear wider shoes READ MORE

  • Why is my toe bleeding randomly?

    You need to see a doctor. You could have any number of problems including but not limited to traumatic avulsion of nail to fracture or dislocation. The problem may be simple or you may unveiled a more serious problem that had not gotten your attention yet. READ MORE

  • How can I get rid of a fungal infection?

    Yes, there are several other treatments for nail fungus, however, the first thing that needs to be done is get an accurate diagnosis as without a nail biopsy and PAS study, the chances of getting an accurate diagnosis is much less as you cannot tell by appearance alone. There are several topical nail medications that have been approved by the FDA, however, the most effective are the solutions, as the creams do not penetrate the nail as well as the newer smaller molecule solution medications. The newer oral medications that bind to skin and nail structures are very effective, however, it has to be determined you are a candidate for these medications which is done through nail biopsy and liver function tests. You must eliminate trauma to the nails, micro trauma from a small or tight shoe, as well as major trauma. You need to control the moisture around the feet changing shoes and socks if they become damp.  Maintenance medications for skin and nails are sometimes necessary to prevent reinfection. READ MORE

  • Why does my big toe hurt when I apply too much pressure?

    The great toe or any toe, will hurt if you put pressure on it if you have an ingrown toe nail.  If you press on the skin adjacent to the nail boarder and push the skin against the nail and illicit pain this is a sign of an ingrown toe nail.  This frequently is accompanied with redness and swelling of the skin adjacent to the nail boarder. READ MORE

  • Is there a cure for toenail fungus?

    Fungus of toenails cannot always be cured in every patient. Although it can be controlled. In order to get the best results you first have to get an accurate diagnosis. This can be achieved following taking a detailed history of the problem physical examination of the toenail and appropriate diagnostic tests when indicated. You have to rule out the other diagnosis’s that look identical to fungus. Than your treatment plan needs to include elimination of trauma to the nail and controlling moisture to the surrounding skin and nail structures. Some cases require maintenance medications to prevent recurrences that can occur with any infection. READ MORE

  • Why are my feet dry and cracked?

    That can be normal if you walk barefooted with sandals or flip flops. Otherwise, see a podiatrist or dermatologist to determine the etiology. This may be a skin condition like psoriasis, fungus, Lichen planus, or some other eczematous condition.     Jan David Tepper, DPM, FACFAS READ MORE
