We always assume that when our children are old enough to put their shoes and socks on by themselves, we don't need to look at their feet anymore. We think that if they are having a foot problem that they will tell us. Well, guess what, we are wrong. There are many foot problems that are preventable if treated early. People always believe that ingrown toenails are painful. This is not true. When an ingrown becomes infected it causes the toe to become swollen and red. The swelling can interfere with the nerves which cause the ingrown toenail to have no pain. Most times, parents are unaware that their child has an infected, ingrown toenail. Children don't have pain and don't know what it is, so they ignore it as well. Parents only find out if the infection is severe or there is dried blood on their sock. Children can also have plantar warts on their feet which also can be non-painful in the beginning stages. Warts can develop quickly and can spread all over the feet. If they are left untreated they can be much more difficult to treat. I was told when I was younger that children have growing pains and you should just ignore them. I can now tell you, both as a physician and a father, that this is not true. Children should not have growing pains. If a child has foot pain, you should look at their feet. If they have flat feet then they might need a custom arch support. There are many children's foot problems that can be treated fairly quickly and easily in a podiatrist's office. Please look at your childrens' feet, even if they are a teenager. Take care of the problem now before it becomes severe – please call us to set up an appointment. l o c a l i t a l i a n c l u b h o S t S c h a R i t a b l e g o l f o u t i n g o n m o n d a y , J u n e 2 3 a t c o p p e R h i l l c o u n t R y c l u b The 33rd Annual Italian American Heritage Club of Hunterdon County Foundation Golf Outing will be held on Monday, June 23 at the Copper Hill Country Club in Flemington. As we did last year, we will continue to improve opportunities to win more and better prizes and increase prize amounts! The Italian American Heritage Club of Hunterdon County Foundation is a 501(c)3 tax exempt charitable foundation that fosters the principles of charity and education through donations to area charities and scholarships. Our golf outing raises funds for charitable endeavors, principally senior organizations such as Meals on Wheels and local food pantries. In addition, our Foundation provides ten scholarships to deserving high school seniors, and provides funds to promote the Italian culture through education. Information about our organization as well as on-line registration and/or donation opportunities can be found at our website: www. ItalianAmericanHC.org. Please feel free to call or email any questions directly to Jim DeSapio, the event chair, at: 908.507.1844 or: jim.desapio@desapioconstruction.com. The IAHC thanks you (Grazie Mille!) for your consideration and generosity.
