Corns
What are corns?
Corns generally occur on the sides and tops of the toes, corns typically grow.
A hard corn has a packed center and is a tiny patch of thickened, dead skin.
A soft corn typically grows between the fourth and fifth toes and has a much thinner surface.
A seed corn is a small, distinct callous that, if it is on a foot part that bears weight, can be extremely tender.
Things you can do to reduce the risk of corns:
Put on thick, padded socks.
Put on broad, cozy shoes with a low heel and a non-rubbing, soft sole.
Put heel pads or soft insoles in your shoes.
To soften corns and calluses, soak them in warm water. Regularly remove hard skin with a foot file or pumice stone. Apply moisturiser to maintain and hydrate your skin.
*Do not attempt to treat corns and calluses on your own if you have diabetes, heart disease, or circulatory issues. Foot issues may worsen as a result of these conditions.*
