Why is his foot bright red????

[Guest guest]

When I took Christian's shoes off this morning his left foot was bright red

and it turned bright white when I touched. This was a first for me. Did I

put the shoes on too tight???? Is this normal??? I am very worried.

Is there any chance there was something (leftover soap, etc.) in his

sock? I'm horrified to say that we once put Devlin's sock on top of a

pile of stuff on the windowsill and it turned out to be barely

touching an oil lamp...the sock acted like a wick and sucked the oil

into it. When Rick was putting her sock on a little later his hands

were wet so he didn't realize the sock felt strange... Needless to

say, 14 hours later (and an emergency trip to the pediatrician's)

Devlin had 3rd degree burns and was perscribed burn cream. She

recovered in a few days but we'll never do anything like that again!

I'm sure nothing like that happened to you, but don't rule out the

" non-clubfoot " issues like a simple skin reaction to soap.

Good luck,

the whole foot? If so, that's kind of odd. Did you change socks or

something?

Hi ,

Our daughter has been in her shoes 23/7 for a couple of months now.

The tops of her feet are always red when I remove the shoes. I think

it started about the second week she started wearing them. From what

I have gleaned on this site, it is nothing to worry about (her dr.

aho is Ponseti certified said the same)...as long as she dosen't get

blisters. She hasn't had anything even close to a blister so I know

she is ok. I did loosen the laces (not the strap) a bit when the

reddness first appeared and that seemed to help a bit as I had them

really tight, but the tops of her feet are still always red when I

remove her shoes and it doesn't seem to bother her at all.

Hope this helps ease your mind, isn't it amazing how we worry about

everything!! The joys of motherhood lol )
