Specializes in the health of the feet.

• A. Dermatologist
• B. Podiatrist
• C. Orthopedist
• D. Neurologist

Answer: (B)

Foot and ankle health is the domain of a podiatrist, a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine who specializes in the medical and surgical care of the feet and ankles. They diagnose and treat conditions like bunions, plantar fasciitis, ingrown toenails, and diabetic foot problems, and can prescribe orthotics or perform surgery when needed. A dermatologist handles skin, nails, and related conditions and would treat foot skin issues, but not the full scope of foot health. An orthopedist works on the broader musculoskeletal system, including the feet, but their focus isn’t limited to feet alone. A neurologist concentrates on the nervous system and nerve-related foot issues, rather than overall foot health care.
