Should I be concerned over 3 year olds toes?

[Lj87]

Good evening I’m starting to get really concerned over my 3 year old daughters toes. They seem to of gotten worse over the last few months. She seems to be walking on nearly the nail side of her little toe and one next to it. Photo attached to help explain. Thank you all in advance xx

I would ask gp for a referral to a podiatrist as they might be able to assess and prevent any worsening with exercises/insoles/shoes etc. Ive had curled bent toes since birth and as I was born with curved in feet and had to wear shoes/braces, and they do cause me a bit of bother as an adult. Im sure it's something that they can help with! Good luck hope they don't cause her too much bother x

Thank you so much for replying. I’m going to try speak with our GPS tomorrow morning. Just want to prevent anything getting worse xx

I would speak to your gp, it needs to be corrected before it becomes permanently damaged. It must be really uncomfortable for her.

She’s not mentioned it hurting her but it’s been like it since she started walking so I guess used to it I’ve called GP this morning and waiting on a call back xx

Rather than speaking to a GP for a referral to a podiatrist (as that can be a waiting list of 6+ weeks) have a look and see if there are any local podiatrists in your area, there is a multitude of different things they can offer/do/provide for your little girl to help correct her toes. I only know as I’m currently studying podiatry at university. Good luck

Thank you we have a local one at the end of my street she’s closed till the New Year so will give them a call too. Good Luck with your studies xx
