General Nail & Skin Care
Healthy nails and skin are essential for overall foot comfort, mobility, and confidence. At Oakleigh Foot and Laser Clinic, our General Nail and Skin Care services are designed to treat common foot concerns early, relieve discomfort, and help prevent minor issues from becoming painful or serious conditions.

Proper nail care is vital to avoid pain, infection, and ongoing foot problems. Our podiatrists carefully assess and treat a wide range of nail conditions, including:
- Thickened or difficult-to-cut toenails
- Ingrown and involuted toenails
- Painful or damaged nails
- Nail discoloration and trauma
- Routine nail maintenance for comfort and prevention

Gentle, Professional & Hygienic Care
At Oakleigh Foot and Laser Clinic, your safety and comfort come first. All treatments are carried out in a clean, modern clinical environment using fully sterilised instruments and evidence-based podiatry techniques.
Expert Skin Care Treatments
Foot skin is exposed to constant pressure and friction, which can lead to painful build-ups and skin damage. Our skin care treatments focus on removing discomfort while protecting healthy skin. We commonly treat:
- Corns and calluses
- Cracked and dry heels
- Hard or thickened skin
- Areas of pressure-related pain
By addressing the underlying causes—such as footwear, pressure points, or gait issues—we help reduce recurrence and improve long-term comfort.
Preventative & Ongoing Foot Care
General Nail and Skin Care is not just about treatment—it’s about prevention. Regular podiatry visits can help:
- Reduce pain and irritation
- Prevent infections and nail complications
- Improve mobility and balance
- Maintain foot health as you age
- Support people with diabetes or circulation concerns
Our podiatrists also provide practical advice on nail trimming, foot hygiene, moisturising, and footwear choices to help you care for your feet between visits.
Healthy nails and skin mean happier, pain-free feet.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What conditions are treated during a general nail and skin care appointment?
General nail and skin care appointments commonly treat thickened or difficult-to-cut nails, ingrown toenails, corns, calluses, cracked heels, dry skin, and general foot discomfort. The aim is to relieve pain, improve foot health, and prevent future problems.
2. Is general nail and skin care painful?
No. Treatments are performed gently and professionally by qualified podiatrists. Most patients experience immediate relief, especially when painful nails or hard skin are carefully reduced using specialised instruments.
3. How often should I have my nails and skin professionally treated?
This depends on your individual needs. Many patients benefit from appointments every 6–8 weeks, while others may require more frequent care if they have recurring nail issues, thick skin, or medical conditions such as diabetes.
4. Can people with diabetes have general nail and skin care?
Yes. Regular podiatry care is highly recommended for people with diabetes. Professional nail and skin care helps reduce the risk of infections, ulcers, and complications caused by poor circulation or reduced sensation.
5. Do I need a referral to book a general nail and skin care appointment?
No referral is required. You can book directly with the clinic. If you have a chronic condition or complex foot concerns, our podiatrists will tailor the treatment and advise on ongoing care.
