Comment on Chino Hills Podiatrist-What it takes to become one by Veronia

Hi, I have a related question that I haven’t been able to find an answer to online and I’m hoping you can enlighten me when you have time. What I’m wondering about is the history of podiatry. How and why did it emerge as a separate (or subset) field of medicine? Why are podiatrists given a DPM instead of an MD (or DO) degree? Why do we not have similar degrees for other parts of the body? (I know all about specialties within medicine, but I’m curious why podiatry has a different degree and special schools.) It seems like podiatry is a bit like dentistry or optometry in that there are special schools and unique degrees that are awarded, and I’m wondering how/why, for instance, there isn’t a special school and degree for, say, hands.

Thank you.

Comment on Is it a wart of something else? by B-----

It’s sounds sort of ‘extreme’, but I recently dealt with a plantar’s wart and I just cut out the affected area with nail clippers. If the pain isn’t too bad; I guess it works.

My feet are just like that. They make me walk weird but I have learned to walk like that without any pain unless I am walking a long time, it causes weak ankles! Oh well!

It’s possible that you may have had a reaction to the phenol.
Some patient’s skin is very sensitive to it; it can literally cause a burn. It’s happened in my office before.
WIthout seeing your toe, I cannot definitively say this; but I would ask for a Silvadene topical prescription just in case.

I just had an ingrown toenail removed, once again. But by a different podiatrist.
this doctor said soak it the next day, put bacitracin on it, and a band aid, and let it heal up.
He did the chemical burn thing also. I went back a week later like he told me too, I was sure it was infected because it was hurting. He said it wasn’t infected. He gave me some iodine swabs, and told me to NOT soak it, let it dry up. Keep it uncovered. No bacitracin. Put the iodine on every morning and evening for 6 days, and it will dry up.
However, it is about 4 days later, and it is till hurting. He told me that the chemical he used, was very strong, and it may have burned some.
Any thoughts? I am wondering if I am supossed to be soaking it every day…….is it tooo late to start soaking it, or does anyone think it will still help???? thanks people
