The purpose of the consultation was to assess Fela's athlete's foot, and just exam his feet generally to determine whether his feet are in good health due to his wearing orthotic insoles.

Medication Prescribed: NA.
To continue with the castor oil which she said is obviously working to keep the skin in good condition.
Follow Up:Carla asked her to send the outcome of the assessment to Fela's doctor at Baddeley Green Surgery which she agreed to do.
A follow up appointment has been made for Thursday 3 August. She hopes to remove more of the white area in between his smallest toes.
Fela's pinky toes curl inwards so he is prone to this and she hopes to be able to design a prop for him in the future which will create space between the two toes and keep them from rubbing against each other.
