Do you find yourself asking Dr Google any of the following questions? Don’t worry! All of these questions are common but rather than asking Dr Google, chat with your local podiatrist who can give advice tailored to your child’s needs. Why does my child have sore feet? Is my child’s development normal? My child is limping after playing sports …. is this normal? Does my child need orthotics or innersoles? Does my child have growing pains? Are they even real? What shoes are best for my child? My active kid is getting pain after sport. What is causing this? My child has flat feet. What does this mean for their development?

What Actually Causes an Ingrown Toenail? (It’s Not What You May Think!)
Most people think it’s always from cutting your nails too short… but that’s only part of
the story! Here’s what’s really going on:
Nail Shape & Genetics – Some nails naturally curve in more, making them
prone to digging into the skin.
Tight or Poorly Fitting Shoes – Pressure pushes the nail edge into your toe.
Trauma or Injury – Even stubbing your toe can change how the nail grows.
Improper Nail Cutting – Cutting nails too short or rounding the edges
increases the risk.
Podiatrist Tip: Trim nails straight across, wear roomy shoes, and don’t ignore early
signs (redness, swelling, tenderness).
If you keep getting ingrowns, it’s worth seeing a podiatrist — there are simple,
effective treatments to fix them for good!
