Foot disorders

Article Abstract:

Foot disorders may be an occupational health issue when they are due to the wearing of ill-fitting safety shoes. Corns and bunions are two examples of foot disorders caused, and exacerbated, by footwear. Corns are cones of dead tissue which can be very painful as they irritate the nerve endings in the layer below the outer surface of the skin. They are formed and exacerbated by localized pressure from shoes. Bunions are fluid-filled bursas which form over foot deformations which were due to badly-fitting shoes. Other foot disorders include ingrowing toe-nails, flat feet, and infections.
