Children's Common Foot Problems
​
There are many different foot problems that can affect children, Some are more common than others. The most frequent problems I see in my clinic include:
-
Ingrown toenails
-
Warts (verruca’s)
-
Fungal infections – (toenail fungus and athletes' feet)
-
Calluses and toes misshaped due to the Gait - (foot and leg action affected by incorrectly fitting shoes & sports trainers).
​
Children’s feet are vitally important.
They are our main source of mobility for the rest of our lives.
Infections & other common problems in children's feet should be checked promptly and regularly to prevent futher issues over time.
Athlete's feet, fungal toenails, verruca’s are common & highly contagious and can impact on your child’s activities & overall health.
