  • Hello, You should see a podiatrist (foot specialist) or an orthopedic doctor specializing in foot and ankle conditions. A dermatologist may also be helpful if there are concerns about skin-related issues.

  • Hello, in the case of plantar pathology, the best way to know what is happening is to do an ultrasound. You can first go to your osteopath for opinion.

    Best regards.

  • Hello. You could see either a general doctor or a sports doctor (médecin de sport). Both can prescribe un ultrasound which is most probably the most convenient exam in this case.
    The sports doctor could also examine the foot/ankle (which is not the specialty of a general doctor).

  • Hello,

    I would first ask the opinion of my GP who will send you if necessary to an orthopedist or a dermatologist or maybe just a podiatrist.
    The GP to start with is a good thing.
    Have a good evening and I hope I was able to help you. Sincerely.
