Little Feet, Big Problems: How to Spot and Treat Common Foot Conditions in Kids

As your child's feet are still growing, it's crucial to address any issues that arise before the ages of 13-15 with an expert foot doctor. This is because your child's feet will generally stop growing around that time, and any problems left untreated could potentially lead to more severe issues later on. Here are some of the most common conditions that can affect your child's feet:

Ingrown toenails - This occurs when the toenail grows into the skin, causing pain and inflammation. If left untreated, it can lead to infection.
Flat feet - This is a condition where the arch of the foot collapses, causing the entire sole of the foot to touch the ground. This can often cause pain in the feet and lower legs, especially in active children.
Growth plate inflammation - Also known as apophysitis, this is an inflammation of the growth plate in the foot. It commonly affects the heel (Sever's disease) and can cause pain during and after physical activity.
Warts - These are small, rough growths on the skin of the feet caused by a viral infection.

If your child is active in sports, it's important to keep an eye out for signs of Sever's disease, which can cause heel pain during and after a game or practice.

Additionally, flat feet can often be misdiagnosed as "growing pains" by general practitioners, which is why we recommend seeking the opinion of a foot doctor if your child experiences any foot or ankle pain.
