With years of experience and a commitment to delivering exceptional care, we pride ourselves in helping our patients achieve healthy and pain-free feet.

Understanding Corn on Feet

Corn on the feet is a common foot problem that can cause discomfort and pain. It occurs when the skin on the feet thickens due to friction or pressure from ill-fitting shoes, repetitive actions, or certain foot abnormalities. At The Foot Practice, we understand the inconvenience and pain associated with corns, and our skilled podiatrists are here to help you find effective solutions.

The Importance of Seeking Professional Help

While there are numerous DIY treatments available for corn removal, it is essential to seek professional help for optimal results. Podiatrists at The Foot Practice have the expertise and knowledge to assess your specific condition and determine the most suitable treatment plan. Attempting to remove corns at home without proper guidance can lead to further complications and delays in healing.

Professional Corn Removal Techniques

At The Foot Practice, we employ a range of effective corn removal techniques tailored to our patients' individual needs. Our podiatrists will assess your condition and recommend the most appropriate method, which may include:

1. Padding and Offloading

In mild cases of corn, our podiatrists may suggest padding the affected area to alleviate pressure and reduce friction. We will also advise you on proper footwear choices and provide insoles or orthotics to help with weight redistribution.

2. Chemical Treatments

For more stubborn corns, our podiatrists may utilize special chemical treatments containing salicylic acid or other keratolytic agents. These substances soften the corn, making it easier to remove. Our team will ensure safe and precise application of these treatments.

3. Debridement

If the corn is particularly thick or painful, our podiatrists may perform debridement, a procedure involving the careful removal of the hardened skin layers. This allows for pain relief and helps in preventing further damage to the area.

4. Footwear Recommendations

Prevention is better than cure, and at The Foot Practice, we prioritize educating our patients on the importance of proper footwear. Our podiatrists will provide you with insightful guidance on selecting footwear that fits correctly and offers adequate support, reducing the risk of corn development.

5. Treatment for Underlying Causes

In some cases, corns may be a result of underlying foot deformities or conditions such as bunions or hammertoes. Our podiatrists will not only address the corn but also provide comprehensive treatment for the root cause to prevent future corn formation.

Preventing Corns and Maintaining Healthy Feet

While corn removal is essential for immediate relief, maintaining healthy feet in the long run requires preventive measures. Here are some tips to help you prevent corn formation:

• Wear comfortable and well-fitting shoes
• Use protective padding or cushions in areas prone to friction
• Maintain good foot hygiene, including regular washing and moisturizing
• Keep toenails properly trimmed to prevent ingrown nails
• Seek professional advice for any foot abnormalities or pain
