Have you ever had a Medical Pedicure before?

Hapoy World Health Day 🌟🌟

Today is for those who are expecting a baby or even better- they baby is already here!

Here are 4 facts about babies and how their 👣👣 develop as they get older and mature:

1⃣ Babies' feet are super flexible- their bones harden naturally when they are rougbly 18-20 years old

2⃣ Babies have flat feet to protect them and this is normal- arches start developing when they are 2-5 years old

3⃣ By the time a baby reaches 2 years old, their feet would have outgrown multiple shoe sizes (again, normal!)

4⃣ Barefootedness for babies is NORMAL- they may nit need shoes until they start properly walking

Here are my top 7 most interesting cases I've treated over the years👣👣

So I get asked all the time by my clients "What's the most interesting feet you've ever seen?"

And I describe some of these pics' scenarios (in order):

1⃣ 80+ year old lady with Type 2 Diabetes- took a lovely long walk and next thing she knew, formed a blood blister (luckily it wasn't painful for her as the Diabetes had caused her to loose some sensation on her feet)

2⃣ 70+ year old gentleman with Tyoe 2 Diabetes- got a foot ulcer from wearing too narrow shoes

3⃣ 20+ year old man with severe autism and a very badly infected ingrown toenail

4⃣ 50+ year old lady, healthy, got a serverly fungal nail infection from putting in nail polish all the time, without breaks inbetween each polish

5⃣ Non-diabetic, blister on a toe from a hike gone wrong

6⃣ 80+ lady with very curly nail (wasn't painful but very unformfortable for her)

7⃣ 20+ year old from a looong marathon

Do you find feet like this surprising?

Exfoliating Foot Masks/Peels 👣👣👣

I recently treated a client who accidentally burnt his skin with a exfoliating foot mask- ouch!

I also perosnally advice my clients to AVOID these, especially if there is mild callus (hard skin)- I've met too many with burnt or inflammed skin

So it got me thinking, what are companies adding to these things causing some peoole (not everyone)'s foot skin to molt?

Here's what I've found:

A lot of exfoliatory foot masks tend to have high concentrations of Alcohol and Lactic Acid

Alcohol, in HIGH concentrations, can make skin red, very dry, irritated/inflammed and more effects

Lactic acid, again in HIGH concentrations, can cause skin irritation/inflammation, increased chances of hyperpigmentation for darker skin tones or (rarely) hypopigmentation for fairer skin tones

So if youre tempted to use an exfoliatory foot mask, stay tuned for Part 2 where I talk about more gentle solutions!

Happy Bonfire Night 🎆 🎉

If you're planning on rocking on some cute heels tonight, don’t let high heel pain ruin the party! 👠✨

Here are some quick tips to keep your feet happy while you celebrate and party hard:

1⃣ Take breaks to rest your feet
2⃣ Block heels are your BFF- block heels put less pressure on your feet compared with stilletoes, giving your feet more support
3⃣ Use insoles for more cushioning

Keep dancing the night away without the pain! 🕺💃
