Improving the Size Difference in a Child’s Footprints

Question

My child is 8 years old, and there is a size difference of almost one millimeter between the two footprints. There is also a slight size difference at the ankle. We had an X-ray done at the local central hospital, but nothing unusual was found. Neither my child nor I have any issues with this. I would like to know what might have caused this and if there are any methods to improve it? Thank you.

Answer

Dear parents, according to your child’s condition, it is indeed quite rare. If there are no abnormal symptoms in daily life, it is likely a congenital growth and development issue. Everyone’s two feet are not exactly the same size, and if it does not affect walking and activities, there is no need to be anxious. However, if it does affect, it is recommended to visit a hospital with a plastic surgery department for correction. These are the suggestions for the question “children have almost one millimeter difference in footprint size,” hoping it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
