"The podiatrists at Martin Foot and Ankle treat all foot and ankle conditions including heel pain, diabetic foot care, bunions, shock wave therapy, and those associated with sports medicine."

Xanthomas are cholesterol deposits that appear in the Achilles tendon. High cholesterol levels can cause the formation of these cholesterol deposits, which appear as small lumps. Aside from treating the underlying cholesterol problem, treatment for xanthomas may require taking a biopsy of the lesion but leaving the nodules intact.
