The mainstay of treatment, like the treatment of gangrene, is surgical debridement, and often includes amputation. Self-treatment consists of changing socks two or three times a day and usage of plenty of talcum powder. Wherever possible, shoes and socks should be taken off, feet bathed for five minutes, patted dry, talcum powder applied and feet elevated to let air get to them.
Foot plough
Prevalent in northwest Scotland, the Scottish Gaelic language contains many terms for the various varieties, e.g. "cas-dhìreach" "straight foot" for the straighter variety and on, but "cas-chrom" "bent foot" is the most common variety and refers to the crooked spade. Although no longer as common as they once were, they are still used in some places, especially the Outer Hebrides.
