Dr Chris asks: ‘Why do so many of us have problems with our feet?’

• Foot problems are extremely common and can originate from multiple causes, including structural issues (bunions) and infectious/dermatological conditions (verrucas)
• Vascular and neuropathic diseases frequently manifest in the feet, making them an important site for detecting systemic conditions affecting blood vessels and nerves
• The feet's anatomical distance from the heart and constant weight-bearing stress make them particularly vulnerable to complications from metabolic and circulatory disorders

Drs Chris and Xand explore common foot problems, from bunions to verrucas, and why diseases affecting our blood vessels or nerves seem to often show up in the feet.
