Symptoms and Treatment for Foot Corn That You
Need To Know

• 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.
• Signs to look out for
• Thick, roughened skin
• A hard, slightly yellow bump
• Dry, flaky or waxy skin
• Tenderness or pain under pressure
• 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.
• How to use a corn plaster
• Thoroughly clean and dry the area around the corn
