I completely understand why people message asking for advice about their feet — when something hurts or looks unusual you want reassurance quickly.
But diagnosing a foot problem from photos or videos in DMs just isn’t appropriate (or safe). A proper assessment involves medical history, examining the area properly and sometimes tests — none of which can be done through Instagram.
I also receive a very high volume of messages and unfortunately I’m not able to respond individually to everyone asking for diagnoses.
If you’re concerned about something with your feet, the best thing to do is book an appointment with a qualified podiatrist who can assess it properly.
Your feet deserve proper care, not guesses from a photo 👣
