Blisters are a main concern for dancers. The rubbing of the inside of the shoe creates painful blisters that may bleed inside the shoe. To prevent blisters, tape your toes with athletic tape where the most friction is. Always remember to keep toe nails cut short. If you dont you may experience ingrown toe nails or bruised toe nails.
Bunions are also a painful injury due to pointe shoes.
Bunions are inflamed joints in the big toe cause to excessive stress on the joint. Bunions can get to a point needed surgery, but i dont recomend it until the age of 18 when feet stop growing. When dealing with strains and sprains, complete relief from dancing is required. You should elevate the foot and keep ice packs on it and try to avoid pressure.
