red bumps on my daughters heel

Podiatry & Foot Questions

My 3 year old daughter was complaining that the bottom of her foot hurt when she walked on it. When I had a look I noticed several little red bumps on the bottom of her heel. The skin seemed to be raised a little and she began to develop the same little bumps on the other heel as well. I soaked her feet in warm water and massaged them to see if I could make them feel a little better. Today she said she does not have the pain when she walks but the bumps are still there. One of the bumps looks as if it is turning white and they are a lot darker in color. What could be the cause of these bumps?

Is there an alternative to surgery for bunions?
I have a bunion on both feet, the right is worse.
I tripped and fell and injured my foot 3 weeks ago, had an x-ray, no breaks, but the bunion has been very painfull ever since.
It was bruised all around the bunion, that is gone now but still cannot seem to wear any shoe without pain.
I do not want to have surgery, can I do something else to help reduce the pain?
I have seen those bunion/toe braces that you wear to bed at night.
Is that a good option?

my (right) foot is swollen 2x its orginal size, so is the rest of my leg up to my knee. went to the doctor she treated it as a sprain…then I went back and she just shrugged her shoulders. now I have a red rash by my ankle on the inside. and I have marks that look like scars from a scratch but there was never a scratch there and they are filled with fluid. I have pain from my toes to about half way up my (right) leg. its swollen so bad I can barely bend my toes. any ideas?

We were just wondering if the small toe is necessary for balance and if the evolutionary process is eliminating it?

Podiatry & Foot Questions

As I stated in the subject line I started jogging about 3 months ago and a week 1/2 ago.. I started getting severe pain in the ball of my right foot and on the top near my 2nd/3rd toe with swelling in the toes and top of foot.
the day after it started I applied ice and I didn’t go for my usual jog..the next day it hurt while I was at work I wear sneakers and walk alot at work. so I bought new sneakers and inserts for cushioning.. I started jogging/walking again..but the pain still persists…??
Is this something serious enough to go to my MD or just stop exercising for a week..(which I really don’t want to do)..??? thanks…oh I am a female in my 30’s, no health problems not overweight..

Podiatry & Foot Questions

On Saturday morning..My foot slipped on some ice..and the right foot went inward.
I then fell forward, down about two steps..My foot remained sideways for a split second and I had to straighten it while on my knees and elbows..OUCH!!
My ankle has since been swollen and sore..
I can walk on it two days later..but it remains sore, weak and a little swollen.
I have been putting ice on it and wrapping it..and have remained off of it for three days now..
I DID NOT SEE A DOCTOR…as I don’t think I had that much pain.Am I doing all the right things??PS.. did not want to walk on more ice and drive with my sore foot!

Not broken, torn or ruptued Plantar fascitus

Podiatry & Foot Questions

Well, I went to the doctor and she said I have a torn Plantar Fascitus.
She told me to use crutches for 3 days to keep the weight of it.
But considering the pain I am in, and the swelling.
I wonder if this is even going to help.
I keep reading about other people in the same condition that use walking casts.
I will try it for 3 days, then I will go to someone that specializes in this type of injury.
Do you feel that my injury can be healed just with crutches.
And how did dropping somthing heavy(60 lbs) on top of my foot, cause the injury on the bottom?

Podiatry & Foot Questions

I sprained my foot about five months ago. It has healed, but I just noticed that the arch in that foot fell. Could it eventually cause any problems? There is no pain right now, but I want to be safe and protect it for the future.
