Corns

Corns is a non-infectious and non-transmissible autoimmune skin condition that can be both baffling and persistent.

What are Corns?

These are hardened layers of dead skin that occur due to repeated friction and pressure on the skin. They are usually found on the pressure-bearing areas of the palms and soles. The centre portion of the corn is hard, which is similar to a barley seed. In other words, it looks like a funnel with a wide, raised top and a pointed bottom.

Signs and Symptoms

Rough and thick yellow areas of lumpy skin
Pain when pressing the lesion
Pain while walking

Recommended treatment for Corns

Corn can be easily treated once the right diagnosis is made.

Filing of Corn

The treatment procedure includes the following:

Soaking the feet in Epsom salts.
Pat dry the feet with a clean towel and moisturise adequately.
This process is continued until the corn has softened.
Once the corn is softened and not painful, rub the corn gently with a pumice stone.
But if the corn is between the toes, it's best to use an emery board or a nail file to rub them.
These steps have to be repeated until the corn is removed completely, which usually takes a few weeks.

The only problem with self-treatment is that you might mistake another kind of skin growth for a corn. Consult a professional or dermatologist for further softening of the corn and hassle-free removal.

Surgery

The procedure is performed after injecting an anaesthetic solution into the lesion for painless and effective removal.

Prevention of Corns

Some of the recommended ways to prevent corn include

Wearing comfortable footwear.
Opt for socks that are thick at toe region.
Cover the tops and the sides of the toes with breathable bandages if you are prone to corn.
Always keep the toenails trimmed, as long toenails can cause the toes to take up abnormal positions.
