From plaster to new shoes
A glassy yellow, sore spot on the foot could well be a corn. This is a hardened, inwardly grown callus core in the shape of a cone. If you have this, you will undoubtedly want to get rid of it quickly: it is usually no fun.
The callus core of a corn can put pressure on the nerves or bone of the toe. If the callus core is soft, it is called a magpie eye. This can cause a lot of pain. Corns are caused by the wrong shoes, the wrong position of the feet or a combination of both. Friction or pressure are often the cause.
Various corns
There are different types of corns. A soft corn is located in the skin between the toes. This skin is quite soft and soft. The corn is therefore soft and whitish.
A seed corn can develop without pressure or friction. This corn occurs mainly on the sole of the foot and the heel. It also occurs mainly in older people and people with dry and poorly nourished skin. The seed corn does not hurt and does not cause hardening on the skin.
Treating a corn
The treatment of a corn depends on the cause. If a corn is caused by shoes that are too tight, you should only wear shoes that give you enough room. In addition, you can have the corn removed by the pedicurist. Special plasters and other aids can also relieve the pain.
corn plasters
The special plaster loosens corns and prevents the painful pressure. The plaster can be cut into any desired shape. Over time, you can remove the callus yourself.
noxacorn
This liquid contains an acid that causes the horn to soften and release layer by layer. Over time, you can remove the callus yourself.
Anti-pressure washers
These prevent painful pressure on the corns.
After treatment
If the pressure on the skin continues, the corn will quickly return to the same place. So the cause of the pressure must be addressed. Sometimes a simple adjustment of your shoes (for example an arch support) is sufficient. In stubborn cases and with a corn under the nail, treatment by the orthopedic surgeon is necessary.
