• Symptoms and Treatment of Foot Corn - Hansaplast
  India
• There are three different types of foot corns-
• Soft Corns Usually forms on the soft skin
  between your toes or on the side of the toes.
  They are more whitish-grey in colour than yellow
  and have a soft rubbery texture.
• Hard corns Usually form at the top of your toes,
  on areas which bone pressure falls on. They are
  small and hard.
• Seed corn Usually forms on the sole of your
  foot, in clusters. Like soft corns and hard
  corns, they form due to pressure/friction, but
  they are tinier than other corns.
• The treatment of foot corns is an easy process.
  Usually, once the cause of the foot corns is
• removed, the corn will go away by itself, but if
  you wish to speed up the process you can follow
  these steps for foot corn removal-
• Soak your foot in warm water for 10-15 minutes,
  until the skin softens. Make sure the corn is
  fully submerged.
• Now that your skin is softened, use a nail file
  or washcloth to gently remove the upper layer of
  toughened skin. Do not use sharp objects to do
  this, take care not to remove excess skin.
• Apply a moisturizing cream on and around the corn
  to keep your skin soft and smooth and eliminate
  dryness.
• If youre wary of this method of foot corn
  removal then you can apply a corn plaster instead
  to
• cushion your feet and keep the skin protected.
  Pick a plaster that has salicylic acid, a plant-
  based acid that helps shed dead skin and reduces
  swelling.
• How to use a corn plaster
• Thoroughly clean and dry the area around the corn
• Apply the plaster so that the center of the foam
  ring covers the corn
• Remove and replace the plaster with a new one
  after 2 days
• On the fourth day, remove the now softened corn
  in a warm bath
• Repeat the cycle if necessary
• Do not use if you are diabetic or have
  circulatory problems
