AB This  chapter  discusses  the  common  foot  disorders  that  are  likely  to  present  to  the  ED.  Patients  with  chronic  or  complicated  foot  problems  generally  should  be  referred  to  a  dermatologist,  orthopedist,  general  surgeon,  or  podiatrist,  depending  on  the  disease  and  local  resources.  Melanoma,  tinea  pedis,  diabetic  foot  ulcers,  onychomycosis,  corns,  and  warts  are  discussed  in  Chapter  253,  “Skin  Disorders:  Extremities.”  Diabetic  ulcers  are  discussed  in  Chapter  224,  “Type  2  Diabetes  Mellitus.”  Puncture  wounds  of  the  foot  are  discussed  in  Chapter  46,  “Puncture  Wounds  and  Bites.”  Lower  extremity  osteomyelitis  is  discussed  in  Chapter  281,  “Hip  and  Knee  Pain.”
