Ep 5. Itchy to the Bone

The Toe Bro season 1 episode 5, "Itchy to the Bone," follows Jonathan Tomines, a foot specialist and the titular "Toe Bro," as he helps patients with a wide range of foot problems. In this episode, he meets three new patients, each with their own unique ailments.

The first patient is a woman named Patricia who has had a large corn on her pinky toe for over a year. Despite her best efforts, the corn has continued to grow and become painful. Jonathan quickly assesses the corn and gets to work removing it. He explains to Patricia that corns are caused by pressure and friction on the foot, and can sometimes be cured with proper shoe inserts.

The second patient is a man named Frank who has a bunion, or a bony bump on the joint at the base of the big toe. Jonathan explains that wearing tight shoes can exacerbate the problem, and gives Frank some stretches and exercises to do at home.

The final patient is a woman named Cheryl who has an incredibly itchy rash on her foot. Jonathan determines that Cheryl has a case of athlete's foot, a common fungal infection that can cause red, peeling, and itchy skin on the feet. He prescribes an antifungal cream and explains to Cheryl the importance of keeping her feet dry and wearing clean socks.

Throughout the episode, Jonathan not only treats his patients, but also educates them on proper foot care and prevention techniques. He stresses the importance of wearing comfortable shoes, keeping feet clean and dry, and regularly checking for any abnormalities.

"Itchy to the Bone" is a fascinating glimpse into the world of foot care, and Jonathan's passion and expertise shine through in every patient interaction. Viewers will leave the episode with a newfound appreciation for their feet and a desire to take better care of them.
