Maintaining healthy feet is vital for overall well-being, especially given the daily pressure your feet endure. At our Sunshine Coast podiatry clinic, we are experts in skin and nail care to address a range of conditions that can affect the health and comfort of your feet. Whether you’re dealing with common issues such as fungal infections, calluses, corns, or ingrown toenails, our podiatrists in Woombye and Sippy downs are here to help.
Your feet serve as the foundation of your body, absorbing shock and supporting your weight with every step. Despite their resilience, the skin and nails on your feet are susceptible to various problems, including infections, dryness, and painful conditions that can impact your mobility and comfort.
Regular skin and nail care is essential not only for aesthetic purposes but also to prevent the onset of more serious foot conditions. Whether you’re an athlete, an individual with diabetes, or simply someone struggling to maintain their feet, podiatric skin and nail care can make a world of difference.
Feet are often exposed to harsh conditions such as tight shoes, moisture, and pressure, which can lead to a variety of skin and nail problems. Over time, untreated issues can become painful, leading to more serious complications. Our clinic offers comprehensive skin and nail care to prevent and treat these issues before they interfere with your daily activities.
We understand that every foot is unique, which is why we provide personalized treatment plans designed to meet the specific needs of each patient. Our goal is to restore the health of your feet and keep them feeling comfortable.

Our clinic is equipped to handle a wide range of skin and nail issues, from mild to severe. Here are some of the most common conditions we treat:
A typical ingrown nail is a painful, inflamed nail edge and is one of the more common nail ailments affecting people of all ages on the Sunshine Coast. An Ingrown Toenail Surgery is a permanent solution that we specialise in at Elite Foot Care.
Corns and calluses are thickened skin areas caused by pressure or friction, often due to ill-fitting shoes, repetitive activities, or other foot conditions. Symptoms include rough, thickened skin and painful, hard spots. They are often easy and painless for your Podiatrist to remove.
Fungal infections commonly make nails white and spotty, thickened, yellowish, brittle and crumbly. Approximately 14% of the population have a fungal nail infection so we treat it regularly with advanced technology such as the Lunula Fungal Nail Laser.
A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of your big toe. This deformity occurs when some of the bones in the front part of your foot move out of place. When this happens, the tip of your big toe gets pulled toward the smaller toes and forces the joint at the base of your big toe to stick out.
Plantar warts are non-cancerous skin growths caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), commonly found on the soles of the feet in high-pressure areas. Symptoms include painful lesions with tiny black dots, and rough skin texture.
Cracked heels, or heel fissures, are caused by dry skin and medical conditions like diabetes. Symptoms include visible cracks, dry and itchy skin, pain, and difficulty walking. Prevention involves regular moisturising, supportive footwear, and good nutrition. Treatment options range from debridement, cream application and reducing pressure on the heel.
Athlete’s foot, also known as tinea pedis, is a contagious fungal infection that primarily affects the skin of the feet, especially between the toes. It is one of the most common fungal infections, affecting athletes and non-athletes alike. At our Sunshine Coast clinic, we are experts in diagnosing and treating athlete’s foot, ensuring quick relief and long-term prevention.
