My son Peyton is 9 years old. On June 24th, his shoes got wet after playing with water at school. He was wearing socks. That night, he came home and told me his feet were hurting.
When I checked, his feet looked red, but I thought they were just cold. The next day, after playing outside, he said his feet were burning badly. I looked again, and they were much redder, had blisters, and he was in a lot of pain.
I called the doctor the next morning. Peyton’s pediatrician sent us to a foot specialist, who asked a lot of questions. One important clue was that his light-up shoes had stopped working, which helped them figure out the shoes caused the burns.
