Raynaud’s Phenomenon- Red, White, and Blue Toes

January 26, 2011 by Jennifer Saam

Over the course of the last month, I have had several patients present with a cold-weather-related condition called “Raynaud’s phenomenon”, or sometimes called, “Raynaud’s disease”.  With this condition, the small blood vessels in the fingers and toes (and sometimes other peripheral body parts) constrict in response to a decrease in temperature, leading to an initial white… Read More

Do Plantar Warts Really Have Roots?

January 20, 2010 by Jennifer Saam

Well, the short answer to this question is, “no”, but I can say that it is asked often enough when a new patient presents with warts to make it worth mentioning!  The term “plantar wart”, or, “verruca plantaris” refers to a wart that is found anywhere on the bottom, or, “plantar” surface of the foot. … Read More

Ingrown Toenails

December 3, 2009 by Jennifer Saam

Many people suffer from pain and inflammation on the edge of one of their toenails, often called an “ingrown toenail“.  It is most common on the large toe, or “Hallux”, but can occur on any of the toenails.
