Could It Be Toenail Fungus? Wayne Foot Doctor Explains
If you are suffering from nail fungus, you are not alone. As Wayne foot doctor Dr. Bruce D. Calligaro explains in this video, it is a condition he commonly sees among his patients.
Yellow, white, or black toenails are often signs of a fungus. A thick toenail could also be a signal that a fungus has grown under the nail. The good news is that a podiatrist can easily treat it.
How does such a fungus occur? The toenail might lift from the nail bed, allowing for the fungus to get in and grow. This type of fungus will not spread throughout the body and is treated locally.
At Wayne Foot and Ankle Center, nail fungus is typically treated with a laser, which has a very high success rate. Topical antifungals might also be used, and in severe cases, oral medications are sometimes prescribed.
If you are suffering from toenail fungus, schedule an appointment with an experienced Wayne foot doctor by calling 973.595.8900. The knowledgeable staff at Wayne Foot and Ankle Center will be able to help you with your toenail fungus.

Wayne Foot Doctor Helps Kids Who Are In-Toeing or Out-Toeing
Did you know that children are born basically flat-footed? The reason is that they have a big pad of fat where the arch is located. Most pediatricians will say that parents need not be concerned if their children are flat-footed, because they will likely grow out of it. However, as Wayne foot doctor Dr. Bruce D. Calligaro explains, if a child is in-toeing or out-toeing, he or she should be seen immediately.
Children’s feet are pliable enough that treatment can be used successfully to treat in-toeing or out-toeing. If a child is flat-footed, a foot doctor might conduct an x-ray to determine what bones are present and the level of their development. Orthotics, which are custom devices that help correct imbalance, are sometimes recommended to help prevent future problems.
If your child is experiencing foot problems, contact an experienced Wayne foot doctor by calling 973.595.8900. Wayne Foot and Ankle Center has the technology and expertise to help your child.

Wayne Podiatrist Explains Corns Vs. Calluses
If you have ever wondered what the difference is between a corn and a callus, this is the video for you. Wayne podiatrist, Dr. Bruce D. Calligaro, gives a helpful explanation of each of these medical terms.
The difference between a corn and callus is simple – location. A corn is on the bottom of the foot, while a callus is located on a toe. It is always caused by an underlying bone problem. On a toe, the toe might be out of position. You might have a hammertoe, which is where the toe comes up off the ground. There could be an extra bone that is causing a callus. The list of potential underlying problems is long.
At Wayne Foot and Ankle Center, we don’t just treat the callus or corn, we also treat the root cause of the problem. For more information or to schedule an appointment with a Wayne podiatrist, call 973.595.8900.

Wayne Foot Specialist on Diabetic Foot Problems
Diabetics commonly suffer from foot problems. To understand these issues, you first have to know a little bit about diabetes and the anatomy of the body. Diabetes is a small vessel and nerve disease. The smallest vessels and nerves are in the eyes and feet.
If you are a diabetic, there are some things you need to know about the feet. For example, in this video Wayne foot specialist Dr. Bruce D.
