Planning for a Marathon: What your Podiatrist Wants you to Know

Spending a significant amount of time in the same shoes, while feet are sweating can lead to skin and nail infections that can be embarrassing or even worse painful or dangerous. Is it important to watch for skin changes such as red patches, flaking, swelling, itchiness, or strong odors. Additionally, runners in training should check between toes and around toenails for changes to the appearance or any signs of infection (redness, warmth to the touch, seeping, swelling, etc.), and to make an appointment with their podiatrist for evaluation if anything is noted. Addressing these issues early will allow runners to continue training uninterrupted.
