Flatfoot is a condition characterized by a lack of longitudinal arch or plantar vault (just the opposite alteration than that of pes cavus).

Foot swelling from the heat and bad odor are other typical spring problems.

The visit to the podiatrist in this seasonal change is highly recommended. "The heat usually accentuates the pain in bunions and back of the fingers or favors the appearance of interdigital helomas between the fingers." In addition, adds Chaqués, it is essential that the specialist eliminate possible hardness, helomas or other dermal pathologies that exist, as well as give the appropriate treatment to avoid cracks in the heels ".

During hot months, we usually stop using a more closed and tight footwear and replace it with a more open one, but it is essential to take into account some aspects in that choice to avoid putting the health of the foot at risk.
