Lucy frequently advises parents who are concerned about the development of their children’s feet. “Flat” feet, pain or unusual walking and running patterns are common reasons for consultation. Often only reassurance and postural exercise is required but sometimes specialised orthotics or other forms of treatment are indicated. Verrucae are also very common in children. These will usually resolve on their own in time or with mild over the counter treatments, however, sometimes, children’s verrucae can be persistent and painful and require treatment.
