Yellow Bottoms of the Feet: What it Means

June 24, 2024

Oh no, yellow feet! This seemingly alarming skin pigmentation is not usually cause for concern and is far more common than you think. Yellow feet commonly present as yellow bottoms of the feet and are usually not an immediate emergency. That said, they should be looked at during a foot assessment as there may be underlying medical causes or dermatological conditions at play. Let’s review the top culprits for yellow skin on the bottom of your feet.

Calluses and Corns

If the yellow skin on your feet feels hard to the touch and only occurs in certain spots (the whole foot isn’t yellow), you probably just have a lot of thick calluses!

Imagine your feet are like well-trodden paths; the more you walk on them without protective footwear, the thicker and tougher they become, forming “callused armour” which often has a yellow hue.

One of the most well-known podiatric concerns, calluses can be treated if they become a problem for hygienic reasons and also to prevent them from becoming more painful, infected or ruining your skin’s integrity and strength.

Corns can also cause thick, yellow skin.

Calluses and corns can be easily removed by a chiropodist using sterilized, medical-grade equipment. Read more about how our chiropodists treat calluses.

Hyperkeratosis

A dermatological condition called hyperkeratosis causes excessive hard and yellow calluses that can cover the majority of the bottom of your foot. When combined like this they can be a lot worse than solitary calluses and are more likely to crack, bleed, and hurt.

Carotenemia

You are what you eat! And in this case, you may be eating too many carotene-rich foods (like carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkins — anything orange!) if the entire bottom of your foot has a mild, yellow hue. The good news? This is harmless.

While noticing this effect on the bottom of the feet can be disconcerting, it may also occur on your face, which might have a positive effect on your confidence. Studies show these mild, facial skin changes can contribute to the overall appearance of health and vitality in humans. Pretty cool!

Jaundice

Jaundice is a serious occurrence that points to a poorly functioning liver, gallbladder or pancreas. Your doctor will help you determine the root cause.

A tell-tale sign that you’re experiencing jaundice is if the yellow colour is quite strong, and if the whites of your eyes are also yellow (sclera).

If you don’t have any other symptoms outside of mildly yellow feet, it’s unlikely you have jaundice, but it’s better to be safe than sorry!

Fungal Infections

Athlete’s foot causes flaky and itchy skin clusters around your toes and the ball of the foot. They look red or pink when irritated, but sometimes turn whitish yellow. Don’t try to treat this at home – you might damage your skin and nail health. Seek guidance from your local Toronto foot clinic instead! They can point you towards the right ointments, creams and other treatments. Learn more about treatment and prevention.

Anemia

This medical condition affects your red blood cells and impairs oxygen flow throughout your body. The entire foot or entire bottom of the foot will have a bright, yet mild, yellow tint. If your feet are cold to the touch in addition to being yellow, you might have anemia.

5 Causes for Numb Feet or Toes

Have you ever felt a prickling, tingling, or pins and needles sensation in your feet? You may be experiencing numbness in your toes. At times, it may even feel like your foot has fallen asleep, which occurs after keeping your foot in the same position for an extended duration. What's happening in your foot and toes when they go numb? The underlying sensation is likely a result of peripheral neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy is a catch-all term for more than 100 types of peripheral neuropathy. It refers to damage to the nervous system, which hinders the network of nerves that relays information to your brain. There are various reasons why you experience numbness in your feet or your toes. Possible causes may include poor blood circulation or a byproduct of diabetes. The sensation may be numb; in other cases, you may not feel anything since your feet or toes lack feeling. In this article, we outline five potential causes for why your feet or toes may go numb. Frostbite/Frostnip It's no secret that Canada experiences cold winters. Low temperatures and high humidity can make keeping your feet warm and dry difficult. That's why frostnip, and its successor, frostbite, are possible during Canada's winter months. There are various degrees of skin and tissue damage due to cold. They are: Frostnip is a mild cold exposure injury that doesn't cause permanent skin damage. A slight numbing sensation may occur during the frostnip stage and minor (but temporary) nerve damage. Frostnip should subside naturally by escaping the cold and returning to warmer temperatures. Superficial frostbite is the second stage of cold damage to your toes. Your skin may feel warm, and you likely experience a more intense numbing or tingling sensation. Deep frostbite is the third stage and most severe form of cold damage. You may experience total numbness and loss of sensation in your toes. The toe muscles and joints may no longer work, and you're at risk of permanently damaging the skin and nerves in your toes. Blisters form 24-48 hours after exposure. Afterwards, the area may turn black and harden as the tissue dies. It's critical to recognize signs early. If you're outside for extended periods and feel your feet and toes are cold, it's time to head inside. Once you reach the numbing and tingling sensation, the damage begins to occur and will only worsen if not addressed. With minor forms of frostnip, the feeling will return to your feet and toes with no long-term effects. With frostbite, you risk permanent and irreversible damage. Diabetes Diabetes is a severe condition characterized by high blood sugar levels that can lead to blood flow and nerve issues. 3.4 million Canadians, or roughly 8.1% of the population, live with diabetes as of 2017–2018. Regarding the foot, diabetes can complicate the nerves and blood vessels in two ways: Diabetic neuropathy, a common long-term complication of Type-2 diabetes, causes nerve damage, leading to loss of sensation in the legs, feet and toes. A lack or loss of feeling in your feet and toes is dangerous as it can mask injuries, cuts, or other conditions. In peripheral vascular disease, sugar accumulates in the bloodstream and can cause poor blood circulation. Blood vessels can narrow, block, and spasm due to PVD. The best action for diabetes is to monitor your symptoms consistently. Further, a foot specialist can check for adequate circulation, signs of neuropathy, and risk for foot ulcers. Rheumatoid arthritis Both rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatoid vasculitis can cause numbing and tingling in your feet and toes. RA, an autoimmune disease where your immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells in your body, can affect the nerves in your feet through inflammation and swelling. Similarly, rheumatoid vasculitis targets the blood vessels in the feet, inhibiting their ability to transport blood. Reduced circulation can cause your feet and toes to be numb, creating a tingling sensation. Typically, one develops rheumatoid vasculitis after having RA for some time. Tarsal tunnel syndrome Tarsal tunnel syndrome is an ankle nerve condition that has downstream effects on the feet and toes. Analogous to carpal tunnel syndrome in our hands, tarsal tunnel syndrome occurs when a nerve becomes compressed—specifically, the posterior tibial nerve inside the ankle. The tarsal tunnel itself is a narrow space next to the ankle bones. It's covered with thick ligaments and contains veins, arteries, tendons, and nerves (including the tibial nerve). When the tunnel becomes compressed, so does everything inside. Compression reduces blood circulation and puts pressure on the nerves that connect your feet and toes with the rest of your body. The exact cause of tarsal tunnel syndrome can be tricky. In many cases, it's a variety of factors, including: Flat feet Bone spurs and cysts in the ankle Varicose veins Inflammation Osteoarthritis Tight shoes Acute ankle injuries Tarsal tunnel syndrome symptoms include sharp, shooting pain, pins and needles, or a burning sensation on the inside of your foot, close to where your foot meets your ankle. The numbness may radiate to the toes as well. Morton's neuroma You may suffer from Morton's neuroma if you've ever felt a sensation akin to having a pebble stuck in your shoe. This type of neuroma targets the base of the third and fourth toes. When the muscles and tendons become inflamed, the nerve becomes increasingly compressed, inhibiting its function. You may develop Morton's neuroma with poor biomechanics - namely, overpronation (when your foot rolls too far inwards when walking or running). Biomechanical abnormalities unevenly distribute weight in your feet, adding too much (and too little stress) to certain parts of the foot. Over time, overpronation adds stress to the ball of the foot, causing it to thicken and become inflamed. As such, the foot's nerves can become compressed. High heels (which promote poor biomechanics) are also a common contributing factor to Morton's neuroma. The best course of action to treat Morton's neuroma is for a foot specialist to fit you with proper footwear or custom foot orthotics. Fixing your footwear and correcting your biomechanics will help distribute weight and stress in your feet more evenly. Other causes of numb feet or toes You may experience numb feet or toes for reasons other than those outlined above. For instance, your feet may fall asleep when you are asleep, and as a result, your feet may feel numb upon waking up. Being sedentary and keeping your feet and toes in the same position for extended periods may also create a numbing or tingling sensation. Other, more uncommon causes may include: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a group of conditions that can cause nerve damage. It's genetic, and the mutations in the genes affect the nerves in your feet and the protective coating of your nerves, which can inhibit signals between your feet and brain. Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare disorder where your immune system attacks your body's nerves. You may experience weakness, tingling, and numbness when it affects your feet. Vasculitis describes inflammation of blood vessels. Most types of vasculitis are rare. Vasculitis can cause a numb sensation in the feet due to a thickening blood vessel wall. As such, the thickening of the vessels can restrict blood flow to the limbs. When in doubt, if you ever feel numb or have a tingling sensation in your feet for abnormal or irregular reasons, contact a professional for a proper diagnosis.

Gout and Dietary Health: What to Eat to Manage Flare-Ups

Gout is one of the most painful foot conditions and types of arthritis. It also has a deep connection to the foods and drinks you consume on a regular basis. The benefits of good nutrition are two-fold: they can help with gout prevention and manage your flair ups. Let’s look at the science behind a gout diet, what to avoid, and what delicious and nutritious foods you can add to your daily menu. Gout and Dietary Health: What to Avoid Gout management and prevention through diet mainly involves avoiding purine. This is a chemical compound found in food and drink. It leads to high uric acid levels (hyperuricemia) that then form the crystals around the joints that trigger inflammation and ultimately result in the onset of a gout attack. Arthritis-Health tells us there is no way to fully avoid purine since it is found in the cells of virtually everything we consume. But you can maintain a low-purine diet by avoiding foods and drinks with high levels. One of the main culprits is alcohol. Not only does it contain a lot of purine, but it can prevent your body from metabolizing and eliminating uric acid. Beer has the most purine compared to spirits and wine. However, fortified wine, stouts and ports are also high in purine. Other drinks to sip sparingly include high-sugar juices and sodas — there is a lot of purine in high-fructose corn syrup! When it comes to food, seafood like sardines, anchovies and shellfish are full of purine, as are red meats, organ meats and processed meats like hot dogs, salami, etc. Of course, everything in moderation is key, but these proteins should be avoided when you have other alternatives. The Best Gout-Friendly Foods The word "diet" can be frustrating because it represents restriction. But sometimes for our health, we have to do what's best for us. This is the case for a gout diet. Remember, the lifestyle changes you make to control this condition don’t mean that you can’t enjoy delicious foods. Here is a list of just some of the nutrient-dense and low purine foods you can have: Eggs Nuts and legumes Fresh fruit with natural sugars. Be careful of preserves, packaged, or canned fruits as they often sneak in high-fructose corn syrup. Tomatoes Poultry Salmon Leafy greens Popcorn Whole grains Low-sugar desserts When planning your new menu, you may be surprised to see a lot of healthy foods, like mushrooms, asparagus and cauliflower, have moderate purine levels. It’s okay to eat them on occasion. Click here to learn what foods are great for general foot health; just be sure to double check purine levels.

What’s a Cheilectomy?

Did you know that the joint at the base of our big toe bears about 40% of our bodyweight when we move? It plays a significant role when we walk and run, and because of the weight it bears (literally), it's prone to arthritis. This condition is called hallux rigidus (often referred to as "stiff big toe") and it causes the joint to lose its range of motion. While a "stiff joint" may seem small, it actually can significantly alter our biomechanics and can cause pain and difficulty walking and running. While non-surgical treatments such as medication, orthotics, and physical therapy can help in the early stages, more severe cases may require surgical intervention. One such surgical procedure to treat hallux rigidus is a cheilectomy. This article will explore what a cheilectomy is, its benefits, risks, and the recovery process. What is a cheilectomy A side-by-side of two feet: on the left is the post-surgical foot with a surgical shoe. On the right is the equivalent surgical reference for where the surgery is done and the incision size. A cheilectomy is a surgical procedure that alleviates pain and restores motion in the big toe joint affected by hallux rigidus. This procedure removes bone spurs (osteophytes) and diseased tissue from the top of the metatarsal bone, which reduces pain and allows the joint to move more freely. Cheilectomy: The procedure A cheilectomy is usually done under local or general anaesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision over the top of the affected joint and then carefully removes the excess bone and tissue and smooths the joint surface. This frees up more space for joint movement. In some cases, the surgeon may do additional procedures, such as joint capsule release or cartilage repair, to improve the outcome. Cheilectomy: The benefits An aerial view of a bone spur above the first MTP joint (left foot, right of image). Pain relief: A cheilectomy can significantly reduce pain and discomfort associated with hallux rigidus by eliminating bone spurs and diseased tissue. Improved motion: The procedure frees up space around the big toe joint, which gives it more room to move around and restores the toe's flexibility and range of motion. This makes walking, running, and other activities more comfortable. Preservation of joint function: Unlike more invasive procedures like joint fusion, a cheilectomy aims to preserve the natural mechanics of the big toe joint, which helps maintain its function and stability. The same foot with the bone spur above the first MTP joint removed. Cheilectomy: Risks and considerations While cheilectomy is generally considered safe and effective, like any surgical procedure, it carries certain risks. These include infection, bleeding and nerve damage. There are also many factors that can affect the outcome, such as the severity of the condition, age, and the patient's overall foot health. If you're considering a cheilectomy, it's important to discuss the risks and the benefits with your healthcare provider so that you can manage your expectations properly assess with a cheilectomy is right for you. Cheilectomy: What's the recovery? Following a cheilectomy, it's normal to experience discomfort and swelling. You can manage this with pain medication and elevation. You'll also need to do physiotherapy during the recovery process to restore the strength and flexibility in the toe joint. Most patients are fully weight-bearing immediately after the surgery, and can usually return to light activities within a few weeks; however full recovery takes several months. Stitches are typically removed 2 weeks after the procedure. It's important to follow post-operative instructions from the surgeon and to attend routine follow-up appointments to monitor the progress.

Why Scrapes and Cuts Become Diabetic Ulcers: The Process

Not fully understanding of diabetes complications and the importance of preventative diabetic foot care can be detrimental. Diabetic ulcers (sometimes called "diabetic foot") often occur after the onset of diabetic neuropathy, which severely restricts sensation in the legs. Around 40-50% of diabetes patients develop neuropathy; people with type 1 diabetes may develop it years after their diagnosis, while those with type 2 can sometimes already have neuropathy in the pre-diabetes stage. Today, we’ll explore how minor cuts and scrapes, combined with neuropathy, can lead to ulcers and progressively severe issues. But with solid diabetes awareness and preventative measures, serious complications can be easily avoided! How Cuts and Scrapes Turn Into Diabetic Ulcers Here are the five stages between a tiny wound and a full blown diabetic ulcer: Stage 1: Initial Injury A minor injury such as a cut or scrape occurs on the skin — anything from a small burn to stepping on a piece of glass. Foot conditions that open the skin’s barrier can also cause tiny wounds, like blisters, cracked heels, calluses and ingrown toenails. For individuals without diabetes, these usually heal without complications. Stage 2: Diabetic Neuropathy Impairs Healing Neuropathy halts the wound healing process. First, high blood sugar levels harm blood vessels and restrict the oxygen-rich blood flow our injuries need for repair. Neuropathy also causes a loss of sensation, meaning you may not even be aware of the cut or scrape. Stage 3: Infection The wound may become red, swollen, and warm, indicating infection. Pus or an unusual discharge might be present. Stage 4: Chronic Wound The cut or scrape evolves into a chronic wound, characterized by persistent inflammation and failure to heal after several weeks. Stage 5: Diabetic Ulcer An ulcer forms as an open red or pink sore that looks “punched out.” It may penetrate deeper layers of skin, extending to muscle or bone in severe cases. Tissue death (necrosis) can also occur, leading to blackened areas around the ulcer. Ulcers can lead to extensive tissue death (gangrene) and bone infections when ignored. What You Can Do to Prevent Diabetic Ulcers Ulcers sound scary, but the good news is that being vigilant about your foot health can help keep your feet ulcer-free. Examine your feet at home every day, keep them clean, and wear protective orthopedic slippers while inside to protect your skin. Lastly, you should regularly visit your chiropodist for inspections and diabetic foot care if you have diabetes; ask them how frequently you should be coming in!

Toenail Thickening: Why it Happens as We Age

Our feet and toes change in various ways as we age. One of these changes is toenail thickening. For some of us, toenail thickening can be more than just a minor inconvenience. It can make it difficult to cut and maintain our toenails, and can even cause pain and discomfort. In this article, we'll explain the causes of thickened toenails, and some possible treatments. Why Do Toenails Thicken with Age? Nails are made from a protein called keratin, which is produced at the nail plate at the base of the nail. Nail growth happens when nail cells multiply within the base of the nail and are pushed forward. However, as we age, the growth rate slows down, so the nail cells just pile up on top of each other, which causes them to get increasingly thicker. Age-related toenail thickening is often a result of several factors: Reduced blood circulation The most common cause of age-related toenail thickening is decreased blood circulation to our feet, which often occurs as we age. This diminished circulation means fewer nutrients and oxygen reach the toenails, causing them to thicken over time. Natural wear and tear Years of use can damage our toenails. Factors such as ill-fitting shoes, repetitive stress from activities like running or walking, and even minor trauma can contribute to thickening. Essentially, when our toenails experience trauma, they thicken to protect themselves. Fungal infections Older individuals are more prone to fungal infections of the toenails, which can cause thickening, discoloration, and brittleness. These infections often thrive in warm, moist environments like sweaty shoes or communal areas. Underlying health conditions Medical conditions like psoriasis, diabetes, and peripheral arterial disease can also influence toenail health. These conditions affect circulation, which in turn slows toenail growth and causes toenails to thicken. Tips for toenail care as you age As you age, proactive steps can be taken to maintain healthy toenails and minimize thickening. By following these tips, you can feel more in control of your foot health and well-being. Regular trimming Toenail thickening can make trimming and maintaining your toenails extremely difficult. Fortunately, a licensed chiropodist is trained to specifically deal with this. A licensed chiropodist can ensure your toenails are trimmed properly to prevent ingrown toenails, promote healthy toenail growth and reduce thickening. A licensed chiropodist can also use special tools over the toenail to thin it out, which will make the toenail easier to cut and maintain. Best of all, this is all done in a sterilized environment, so you don't need to worry about fungal infections (did you know 52% of people get fungal infections after visiting nail salons?) If you decide to trim your toenails at home, make sure you invest in quality toenail clippers and avoid cutting them too short. Proper foot hygiene Wash your feet daily with soap and water, ensuring they dry thoroughly, especially between the toes. Also, wear flip flops in public spaces to avoid contracting fungal infections. Comfortable footwear Choose shoes that fit well and provide adequate support. Avoid narrow or tight shoes that can put pressure the toenails and contribute to thickening. Moisturize regularly Apply moisturizer to your feet to keep the skin and nails hydrated. This can prevent cracking and thickening of the toenails, especially in dry climates. Foot protection Wear protective footwear in risky environments like communal areas or outdoors. This can help prevent injury and reduce the risk of fungal infections. Manage underlying conditions If you have underlying health issues like diabetes, it's important to remember that they can be effectively managed. By working closely with your healthcare provider, you can improve foot circulation and reduce the risk of complications like toenail thickening.

Summer Sandal Guide: Choosing the Best for Your Feet

As the temperatures rise and the sun shines brighter, it's time to ditch the closed-toe shoes and slide into something more comfortable and breathable. Yes, it's sandal season! But with so many options available, how do you choose the best sandals for your summer adventures? We've got you covered. In this guide, we'll explore the essential features to look for in summer sandals and introduce you to some top picks that seamlessly blend style with comfort. Cork footbed One key feature to consider when selecting summer sandals is the footbed material. Cork footbeds are famous for their ability to mould to the shape of your foot over time, providing personalized support and cushioning. Additionally, cork is lightweight and absorbs shock, making it an excellent option for all-day wear. Whether strolling along the boardwalk or exploring a new city, sandals with cork footbeds ensure your feet stay comfortable and supported. Arch support Arch support is essential, especially if you plan on wearing your sandals for extended periods. It distributes weight across your feet, reducing strain and preventing discomfort. A lack of arch and forefoot support can lead to foot problems like plantar fasciitis or metatarsalgia. Look for sandals with arch support or removable insoles. You can customize the level of support to your liking. Your feet will thank you after a long day of sightseeing or outdoor activities. Backstraps for support While slip-on sandals are convenient, they may provide a different level of support and stability than those with backstraps. Backstraps help secure the sandals to your feet, preventing them from slipping and sliding with each step. Added stability is particularly beneficial if you plan to engage in more active pursuits or tend to pronate or supinate. Backstraps come in various styles, from adjustable buckles to elasticized bands, allowing you to find the perfect fit for your feet. Our top picks Now that we've covered the essential features to look for in summer sandals let's introduce you to some top picks that effortlessly combine style with comfort. NAOT Cornet and NAOT Castelo Best for cork footbeds With their contoured cork footbeds and adjustable backstraps, NAOT sandals offer exceptional comfort and support. The NAOT Cornet and NAOT Castelo styles feature chic designs that transition seamlessly from day to night. Mephisto Hester and Mephisto Hetty Best for cork footbeds Mephisto sandals are renowned for their superior craftsmanship and comfort technology.

Aetrex Jess Best for arch support The Aetrex Jess sandals feature a built-in Lynco orthotic footbed for maximum support and alignment. The adjustable backstrap ensures a secure fit, making them ideal for all-day wear. NAOT Enid and NAOT Amadora Best for backstrap support NAOT offers a range of stylish sandals with cork footbeds and backstrap designs. The NAOT Enid and NAOT Amadora are built with quality and comfort in mind. The three variations three are perfect for summer adventures.
