Foot problems are very common, and there is absolutely no reason to feel embarrassed about them.

At SoleCare, you will always be treated with respect, patience and discretion. My role is not to judge, but to listen, assess the problem and offer professional care suited to your needs.

You are welcome to message me, explain what is worrying you or send a photo. Every message is treated confidentially.

Can nail fungus spread to other family members? 👣

Yes — nail fungus can spread between people living in the same home, especially when they share towels, shoes, socks, bed sheets or nail tools. Dermatophytes can also stay on damp surfaces, such as bathroom floors and showers.

It is also possible to spread the infection to other parts of your own body. Touching infected toenails or the skin on your feet can transfer dermatophytes to your hands, fingernails or other areas of your skin.

How can you reduce the risk of spreading the infection?

✔️ Do not share towels, socks or shoes.
✔️ Use your own nail clippers, files and scissors.
✔️ Wash and dry your feet carefully, especially between the toes.
✔️ Wash towels and socks regularly.
✔️ Wear flip-flops in shared bathrooms, swimming pools and showers.
✔️ Wash your hands carefully after touching affected nails.
✔️ Do not ignore athlete’s foot, because it can spread to the toenails.

Nail fungus is not only a cosmetic problem. Starting the right treatment early can help stop the infection from spreading and protect other family members. 💚

Czy grzybicą paznokci można zarazić domowników? 👣

Tak — grzybica paznokci może przenosić się pomiędzy domownikami, szczególnie gdy wspólnie używamy ręczników, obuwia, skarpet, pościeli lub narzędzi do paznokci. Dermatofity mogą pozostawać także na wilgotnych powierzchniach, takich jak podłoga w łazience czy prysznic.

Co ważne, infekcję można przenieść również na inne części własnego ciała. Dotykanie zakażonych paznokci lub skóry stóp może pomóc dermatofitom przedostać się między innymi na dłonie, paznokcie rąk albo inne obszary skóry.

Jak zmniejszyć ryzyko zakażenia?

✔️ Nie dziel się ręcznikami, skarpetami ani obuwiem.
✔️ Używaj własnych cążek, pilników i nożyczek.
✔️ Dokładnie myj i osuszaj stopy, szczególnie przestrzenie między palcami.
✔️ Regularnie pierz ręczniki i skarpety.
✔️ Noś klapki we wspólnych łazienkach, na basenie i pod prysznicem.
✔️ Po dotykaniu zmienionych paznokci dokładnie umyj ręce.
✔️ Nie ignoruj grzybicy skóry stóp, ponieważ może rozprzestrzenić się na paznokcie.

Grzybica paznokci to nie tylko problem estetyczny. Wczesne rozpoczęcie odpowiedniej terapii pomaga ograniczyć rozprzestrzenianie się infekcji oraz chronić pozostałych domowników. 💚

🦶 This was not a regular pedicure — it was professional foot health care.

The patient came to me with noticeably dry and thickened skin on the heels and in the areas of the foot under the most pressure.

During the appointment, I carefully assessed the condition of the skin, safely removed the excess hard skin, and smoothed the feet. The difference can be seen straight away — the skin is smoother, softer, and more comfortable. 💚

Changes like these are not always just a cosmetic problem. If left untreated, hard skin can become worse and may cause discomfort, burning, or even painful cracks.

If your feet look similar, there is no need to feel embarrassed or try to remove the hard skin yourself. You are welcome to book a consultation and a professional treatment suited to the needs of your feet.

💚 Healthy nails are always more important than beautiful nails.

A patient came in for a routine gel nail infill from another salon. After removing the previous gel, I noticed a green discoloration under the nail, which is a common sign of a bacterial infection.

In situations like this, I don’t apply a new set of nails to hide the problem. Instead, I carefully cleaned the nail, assessed its condition, and provided detailed home care advice and recommendations for the next steps.

Sometimes the best decision is to take a break from nail enhancements and focus on restoring the health of the natural nail. Healthy nails should always come before cosmetic results.

💚 Thank you to my patient for trusting me and for choosing the health of her nail.

If you notice green discoloration, lifting of the nail, or any other unusual changes, don’t try to cover them up. Book a consultation and have the problem assessed before it gets worse.

🦶 Not every corn looks serious… but it can be extremely painful.

This patient came to see me with a very painful corn that made walking and everyday activities uncomfortable.

After carefully assessing the problem, I removed the corn and relieved the pressure. The patient felt immediate relief. 💚

Remember – corns don’t disappear on their own. If left untreated, they can become more painful and make walking difficult.

If you have pain when walking or have noticed a similar problem on your foot, don’t wait.

Thank you to my patient for trusting me. 😊

🦶 Do you have skin like this between your toes? Don’t ignore it!

White, soft, peeling skin between the toes is a sign that something isn’t right. It may be caused by excess moisture, friction, or a skin infection.

If left untreated, these changes can lead to:
✔️ painful skin maceration,
✔️ cracks in the skin,
✔️ inflammation,
✔️ pain when walking,
✔️ the problem spreading to other areas of the foot.

The sooner the cause is assessed, the easier it is to start the right treatment and prevent the condition from getting worse.

💚 If you’ve noticed similar changes on your feet, I’d be happy to help.

Don’t wait until a small problem becomes a painful one.

🌿 Does every VERRUCA disappear on its own? Unfortunately, no…

This brave 10-year-old patient came to see me with a very painful verruca. It had become so painful that it made walking and everyday activities difficult.

➡️ After just one treatment, she already felt much better.

The full treatment took about 2.5 months. It included regular appointments and home care.

💚 A big thank you to her parents for following all the treatment advice. Good teamwork between the practitioner, the child, and the parents is very important for successful treatment.

In these photos, you can see the whole journey – from the painful verruca, through treatment, to healthy skin.

👏 Thank you to my brave little patient for being so courageous, and thank you to her parents for trusting me with her care.

❗ If you or your child has a painful lump or skin change on the foot, don’t ignore it. Not every painful spot is a corn. Sometimes it is a verruca, which can become more painful and spread if left untreated.

📩 If you’re not sure what the problem is, send me a message. I’ll be happy to help.
