Removing, Treating, and Preventing Corns
A corn (callus, heloma) is a hardened, round callus that develops on or under the foot. The core presses into the surrounding tissue and can be painful. Here you can read about causes, treatment, and prevention.
What is a corn?
Occurs due to prolonged pressure and friction. Often on the sole of the foot or between the toes. Different types: hard corn (clavus), soft corn (between toes). With sweaty feet, moisture increases the risk – PediSpray® can help.
Self-removal
Small corn in an accessible location: corn plaster with salicylic acid or special pen to scrape off the top layer. Do not self-treat deep or hard-to-reach corns – risk of infection.
Pedicure and Podiatrist
Have a pedicure remove the corn if it is deep or hard to reach. For abnormal foot posture: podiatrist for insoles to correct pressure distribution.
Prevention: comfortable shoes in the correct size, good foot care, timely removal of calluses. For sweaty feet: PediSpray® to reduce moisture and friction.
In short
How does a corn develop?
Due to prolonged pressure and friction on the foot. Causes: shoes that are too tight, high heels, abnormal foot position. With sweaty feet, moisture increases the risk.
Can I remove a corn myself?
Small corn in an accessible location: corn plaster with salicylic acid. Deep or hard-to-reach corn: have a pedicure treat it to prevent inflammation.
