Reasons and Solutions for Corn in Feet

Welcome to The Foot Practice, your premier destination for foot care and podiatry services. We are dedicated to providing top-notch care and expert solutions for all your foot-related concerns. In this article, we will explore the reasons why corns can develop on your feet and the comprehensive treatments we offer to address this common condition.

Understanding Corns and Their Causes

Foot corns, also known as helomas, are thickened areas of skin that typically develop on the feet, particularly on areas subjected to repeated friction or pressure. They can be categorized into two main types: hard corns and soft corns.

Hard Corns

Hard corns usually form on the tops or sides of toes, often caused by ill-fitting footwear or abnormal foot mechanics. When pressure is applied repeatedly to these areas, the skin thickens to protect the underlying tissues. Symptoms may include discomfort, pain, or even a burning sensation.

Soft Corns

Soft corns are commonly found between the toes, where the skin is moist and prone to friction. These corns have a rubbery texture and may be more prone to infection. They can develop due to factors such as narrow shoes or the abnormal positioning of toes.

The Foot Practice: Your Solution for Corns

At The Foot Practice, we understand the discomfort and inconvenience that corns can cause in your daily life. Our experienced podiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of foot conditions, including corns. We offer comprehensive and personalized treatment plans to help you effectively manage and prevent corns from recurring.

Thorough Foot Examination

During your initial consultation, our skilled podiatrists will conduct a thorough examination of your feet, including areas affected by corns. This evaluation helps us understand the underlying causes of your corns and develop an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Customized Treatment Options

We believe in providing our patients with a range of treatment options to address their specific concerns. Our podiatrists may recommend one or more of the following treatments:

• Padding or Cushioning: Applying specially designed pads or cushions to protect the corns from friction and pressure.
• Corn Plasters or Pads: Using medicated plasters or pads with salicylic acid to help soften the corns and promote their gradual removal.
• Orthotics: Crafting custom orthotic devices to correct abnormal foot mechanics or reduce pressure points that contribute to corn formation.
• Surgical Intervention: In severe cases where conservative treatments are ineffective, our skilled podiatrists may recommend minor surgical procedures to safely remove the corns.

Preventive Measures and Education

Our commitment to your foot health extends beyond treating existing corns. We also provide comprehensive guidance on preventive measures to reduce the likelihood of corn recurrence. Our podiatrists will educate you on proper footwear choices, foot hygiene practices, and exercises that can help prevent corns from developing in the future.
