If a person is suffering from excessive pain in the foot, ankle or leg they might seek the help of a podiatrist. A podiatrist is a doctor that specializes in podiatry medicine; which focuses solely on the foot and lower leg. A podiatrist may be able to help a person recover from a serious foot injury, such as a broken born or torn ligament, and may also treat individuals suffering from diabetes or arthritis. A podiatrist is frequently called upon to remove calluses and other painful growths that can occur on the foot, such as, bunions, keloids or ingrown toenails.
