"Foot problems as related to the ballet dancer. There are several problems that dancers face with their feet during ballet such as bunions, ingrown toenails, Planter's Fascitious in the bottoms of their feet, corns, callouses, so on and so forth. An ingrown toenail can occur when a dancer keeps their toenails too long and the toenail grows into the side of their toe. It is very uncomfortable especially for the dancer who works on point. Bunions occur in a dancer's large toe and on the outside of the baby toe. It feels like an inflammation of the joint of the toe and at some point as they get very bad could need surgery. Corns and callouses actually protect a dancer's feet from blistering when they are working in their point shoes. Planter Fascitious can be aided by massages on the bottom of the foot and bone spurs can also occur which would need the assistance of a medical professional."
