Athlete's foot does not as its name suggests affect only athletes. It is a fungal infection that develops just below the skin.

A bunion is an enlargement of the joint at the base of the big toe, the metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ).

A fungal nail (known as onychomycosis) is an infection underneath the surface of the nail, possibly penetrating the nail.

Ingrown toenails (known to chiropodists as onychocryptosis) is a common condition where the nail grows into the side of the toe causing swelling, pain and redness. Often the big toe is affected.

Pain is centred over one or more of the metatarsal bones, most commonly the second bone. Symptoms include pain and swelling; sometimes a callus may be found under the affected joint.

Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the connective tissue, called the plantar fascia; which stretches from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to its insertion into the heel bone.
