A podiatrist, also known as a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) or a foot doctor, is a medical professional specializing in the care of the feet and ankles.

Laser treatment has demonstrated success rates of up to 90% with multiple sessions in clinical trials, whereas traditional prescription therapies tend to be about 50% effective.
