👟 Stinky, sweaty feet in kids: What’s normal, and when should you worry?

Dr. Gloschat explains that children naturally sweat more than adults due to active sweat glands, synthetic shoes, and constant play. But if your child’s feet are always cold and clammy, red or cracked between the toes, or frequently smell despite good hygiene—there may be an underlying issue like hyperhidrosis or a fungal infection. 🦶

If your child’s feet are consistently sweaty or smelly, let’s take a closer look. We’re here to help keep those tiny toes healthy!

ANSWER: Ingrown Toenail?

An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes infection. It most commonly affects the big toe.

Ingrown toenails can develop due to improper nail trimming, tight shoes, injury, or genetics. Ignoring them can lead to worsening pain and infection.

Treatment may include proper nail care, soaking, protective padding, and professional podiatric intervention. In severe cases, minor procedures may be needed to remove part of the nail and relieve discomfort. Early care prevents complications and helps your feet stay healthy.

Let’s Discuss: Should people stretch their calves daily to prevent heel pain? 👣🦵✨

Daily calf stretching can be one of the simplest yet most powerful habits for reducing and preventing heel pain — especially pain related to plantar fasciitis or tight Achilles tendons. When the calf muscles are tight, they pull on the heel and increase strain on the plantar fascia, leading to discomfort with your first steps in the morning or after long periods of standing.

Regular stretching helps:

✔️ Improve flexibility
✔️ Reduce tension on the heel
✔️ Support better foot mechanics
✔️ Prevent recurring pain

But like any treatment, consistency matters. Stretching correctly — and pairing it with supportive footwear or orthotics if needed — can make a big difference in long-term comfort.

What do you think? Do you stretch your calves daily?

Congenital Foot Deformities in Newborns 👣

There are several congenital foot deformities parents should watch for as a baby grows. Some—like clubfoot (bean-shaped appearance) or congenital vertical talus (rocker-bottom shape)—may require early casting or surgical correction.

Others, like brachymetatarsia (a shorter toe), polydactyly (extra toes), or syndactyly (webbed toes), may or may not need surgery depending on severity. Early evaluation is key to choosing the best treatment plan.

If you have concerns about your child’s foot development, we’re here to help.

🦶 5 Signs You Might Have a Foot Problem

Your feet often reveal issues long before pain becomes severe. Here are five subtle signs you shouldn’t ignore:

Your shoes suddenly feel tight.

Swelling, inflammation, or structural changes in the foot can make shoes feel uncomfortable out of nowhere.

You notice cracking around the toenails.

This may signal dryness, fungal infection, or poor circulation.

Your feet look unusually pale or bluish.

Color changes can indicate circulation problems or vascular issues.

Your arch feels like it’s collapsing.

This could be a sign of flat feet, tendon problems, or weakening support structures.

You feel pain when first stepping out of bed.

A classic symptom of plantar fasciitis or inflammation in the heel.

If you’re noticing any of these, early podiatry care can prevent the problem from getting worse.

Myth: Warts only appear on dirty feet.

Fact: They’re caused by a virus (HPV) and can appear on anyone — clean or not. 👣🦠

Foot warts have nothing to do with hygiene. They’re the result of human papillomavirus (HPV) entering the skin through tiny cuts or weak spots. This means anyone can get them, even if they keep their feet clean and well-maintained.

Warts often spread in warm, moist environments like locker rooms, pools, and shared showers — which is why protecting your feet and catching infections early is so important. If a wart becomes painful or stubborn, a podiatrist can provide safe, effective treatment to prevent it from spreading or worsening.

🚨 High Ankle Sprains: Not Your Average Twist 🚨

Most of us know about the common ankle sprain—the foot turns inward and ouch! But there’s a more sneaky kind of injury: the high ankle sprain. It happens when the foot rotates outward under stress, stretching the ligament between your tibia and fibula (yes, the bones in your lower leg!).

This type of sprain is often harder to detect, but can lead to more serious instability and longer recovery times.

🔍 Stay tuned as Dr. Falco kicks off a 4-part series on high ankle sprains, treatments, and recovery tips you don’t want to miss!

ANSWER: Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It occurs when the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue connecting your heel to your toes, becomes inflamed or irritated.

Common symptoms include sharp pain in the heel, especially when taking your first steps in the morning or after long periods of sitting. Over time, untreated plantar fasciitis can affect your gait, posture, and overall mobility.

Treatment may include stretching exercises, supportive footwear, orthotics, and professional podiatric care to relieve pain and prevent recurrence.
