How To Cure A Case Of Flat Feet Which Looks Like A Bruise?
I have a bad case of flat feet. Constant burning feeling in my arches although my left foot is worse. Last night, a spot of my arch felt bruised on the inside. This morning not only is it internally bruised but there is a red mark over the spot and the skin stings a little.

Hello,
With history, I understand that the Flat foot issue is from a long time. The first thing you should do it to change the foot wear. Insert the medial arch which is widely available nowadays in the form of silicone material. Using that can help avoid any excessive pressure over the arch and also will help you avoid bruises.
Now post the use of the medial arch there may be chances you will have pain in the feet and leg muscles like the calf. But that is common. Proper retraining of those muscle groups under a guided physiotherapist should help. As due to flat feet you may have developed a new adjustment of movements based on requirements. So a physiotherapist will be of good choice for prescribed desired exercise.
Rest assured. You may not be able to completely get rid of flat feet so soon but at least will avoid future damage to the tissues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
