Product Information

A combination of Salicylic Acid paste with a soft felt corn ring helps relieve pressure and pain whilst the corn is treated. One of the most common causes of corns and calluses is wearing ill-fitting shoes which puts pressure on toes thereby increasing the risk. Buy shoes that give your toes plenty of room but fit snugly enough so the shoe does not come off while walking. But if you are not able to wiggle your toes, then it means your shoes are too tight. Make sure your shoes are the right size and shape. Also, it is advised to shop for shoes at the end of the day as the feet may be slightly swollen and help you to get the right fit.

The treatment of corns and calluses is aimed at reducing the pain and discomfort caused by the condition. If these tips fail to provide any relief, then surgery is the only option.

If you have long toenails, then it is advised to keep your toenails trimmed. This is because long toenails can put pressure on the surrounding area when pushed up by the shoes. This, in the long run, can increase the risk of suffering from corns and calluses. Moreover, if you already suffer from this condition, then it can worsen it.This article was co-authored by Miguel Cunha, DPM.

You can remove the cap after a week as the area becomes pale and it becomes easy to remove corns and calluses.

According to the American Diabetes Association, using a pumice stone on a daily basis can help keep calluses under control.
