Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Foot issues: A simple first step could be seeing a pedorthist to have shoes selected that fit properly and are healthy for your feet. Another option is to see a pediatrist to find out why this is happening to your feet and to get personalized guidance.
