Skin and Nail Care

Are skin or toenail problems making you self-conscious about your feet? You’re not alone. From painful ingrown toenails to stubborn fungal infections, foot-related skin and nail conditions affect millions of Americans each year. Fortunately, you’ve come to the right place for trusted podiatric skin and toenail care. 

At Wilks Advanced Foot Care, we understand how these issues can impact your daily life and self-confidence. Our family-owned Roseburg podiatry practice offers both traditional treatments and innovative solutions, like OnyFix, an effective, non-surgical option for ingrown toenails. Dr. Jason Wilks takes the time to understand your concerns and develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your needs, goals, and lifestyle. 

Treating Common Skin and Nail Conditions 

Podiatrists don’t just treat the complex structures inside your feet; they also help you keep your skin and toenails looking and feeling their best. Maintaining podiatric skin and nail health is more than an aesthetic concern. Dry, cracked skin, ingrown toenails, and other issues invite infections that can lead to more serious problems, especially for patients with diabetes or poor circulation.

We provide professional care for the full range of podiatric skin and nail conditions, including: 

• Dry, cracked skin. Excessively dry feet aren’t just unsightly. Dry skin can lead to painful heel fissures and infections. Dr. Wilks offers effective treatments to heal your skin and guidance to prevent future fissures.
• Fungal toenails. Nail fungus can make your toenails thick, brittle, and discolored. We provide advanced Clearanail treatment to eliminate the onychomycosis infection and restore healthy toenail growth.  
• Corns and calluses. Though these thick patches of skin develop to protect your feet from excess friction, they can become painful without proper care. Our podiatrist safely removes calluses and corns while addressing their underlying cause.
• Ingrown toenails. When the edge of your toenail grows into the surrounding skin, it can cause redness, swelling, and pain can result. While home remedies may offer temporary relief, professional treatment can help prevent the problem from recurring. Dr. Wilks offers OnyFix, as well as traditional treatments.
• Athletes foot. This highly contagious fungal infection causes itching, burning, and peeling between the toes and on the bottoms of your feet. Professional treatment can eliminate the infection and help prevent it from spreading.
• Traumatic injuries. Whether you’ve dropped something heavy on your toe or ripped off part of a toenail, Dr. Wilks offers reliable care to help prevent long-term complications.
• Plantar warts. These rough, bumpy growths typically appear on the balls and heels of your feet. Caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) invading the body through small cuts or breaks in the skin, plantar warts can persist for years without professional intervention. We offer effective treatments to stop the infection in its tracks. 

Exploring the Benefits of Professional Podiatric Skin and Nail Care 

While many people attempt to treat toenail and skin problems at home, over-the-counter or home remedies often fail to provide the desired results. A do-it-yourself approach to podiatry can lead to:
