Lumps and bumps, or raised areas of the foot are something we tend to overlook and do not pay attention to in our daily life. Common things such as calluses, corns, warts, moles, dry-cracked skin, and skin patches, to name a few, can be misdiagnosed and are malignant or cancerous if not diagnosed correctly. Feet skin conditions should be self-examined weekly and at least once annually by a licensed professional to rule out anything suspicious before it is too late. If you have concerns about your feet, come see your local podiatrist at Island Foot Clinics for evaluation today!

When there is something you are not allowing yourself to feel, admit or acknowledge and we stuff the unexpressed feeling down, it becomes an energy form that stresses the body. It starts when an uncomfortable emotion doesn’t want to be felt or experienced. We ignore and bury our intolerable feelings to forget about them. This energy tenses muscles, lessens blood flow and eventually becomes illness, pain, or dis-ease. The hidden process of stuffing our emotions is called “somaticizing”. When your body is asked to hold an emotional state for too long, it begins manifesting into physical symptoms or creates an addiction to keep it at bay.

“Things must fall apart once in a while so we can grow by learning how to put them back together again. Remember today that everything is happening perfectly on time for you” – Keith Macpherson
