A member asked:
Can a 5 yr old child use a foot spa?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not recommended: Although the "foot spa" is a nice treat for people, there is little benefit medically for a 5 year old. There is risk of ingrown nails, bacterial and fungal infection and not worth the risk for a 5 year old. I would not recommend it.
