Corns

Remedies such as corn paint or plasters will only treat the symptom of the corn and not the initiating cause such as wrongly fitted shoes or structural collapse of the foot. The chemicals used in over-the-counter products often contain acid that eats away at the corn but often normal healthy skin surrounding the corn becomes damaged as well. A podiatrist can initially treat corns with correct removal, padding and appropriate protection, the best treatment is to find the cause which means an assessment of your foot structure and footwear needs.
