With our comprehensive approach and vast experience, we are dedicated to providing effective solutions and helping you achieve healthy and pain-free feet.

Understanding Foot Corns

Foot corns are common conditions that occur due to friction and pressure on specific areas of your feet. They typically manifest as thick, hardened areas of skin, often causing discomfort and pain while walking or wearing tight-fitting shoes. Foot corns can be categorized into two types: hard corns and soft corns.

Hard Corns

Hard corns are the most prevalent type and usually develop on the tops, sides, or tips of your toes. They have a hard, dense core surrounded by inflamed skin, causing discomfort. The primary cause of hard corns is continuous pressure from ill-fitting footwear or abnormalities in your foot structure, such as hammertoes or bunions.

Soft Corns

Soft corns, on the other hand, form between the toes, where the skin is moist and prone to friction. They are white and rubbery in appearance due to moisture retention. Common causes of soft corns include wearing tight shoes, overlapping toes, or improper foot hygiene.

Effective Treatments for Foot Corns

At The Foot Practice, we offer a range of effective treatments to address foot corns and provide relief from associated discomfort. Our skilled podiatrists devise personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific condition and needs. Here are some of the treatments we utilize:

1. Corn Pads and Cushions

Using specialized pads and cushions can effectively alleviate pressure from the corn, reducing pain. These pads offer cushioning and create a barrier between the corn and your footwear, allowing the affected area to heal.

2. Custom Orthotics

Our podiatrists may recommend custom orthotics, which are shoe inserts specifically designed to support and correct foot abnormalities. By redistributing pressure and reducing friction, custom orthotics can help prevent corns from recurring.

3. Footwear Evaluation and Recommendations

We understand the importance of wearing proper footwear to prevent and treat foot corns. Our experts can evaluate your current footwear and provide recommendations based on your foot structure and specific needs, ensuring a comfortable fit and reduced pressure on vulnerable areas.

4. Corn Removal Procedures

In cases where corns are persistent or causing severe pain, our skilled podiatrists may perform corn removal procedures using sterile instruments. These procedures are conducted with utmost care and precision, ensuring minimal discomfort and promoting proper healing.

5. Education and Preventive Care

At The Foot Practice, we believe in empowering our patients with knowledge and preventive measures to keep their feet healthy and corn-free. Our podiatrists will educate you on proper foot care techniques, including hygiene, moisturizing, and avoiding excessive pressure on vulnerable areas.
