A corn can cause severe discomfort while wearing shoes. There are two types of corns that can develop on the feet. Soft corns are generally found between the toes, and can occur from wearing shoes that do not have adequate room for the toes to move freely in. Hard corns are located on the sole of the foot, or on top of the toes, and can develop from excessive friction. Mild relief may be found when a protective pad is placed over the corn, and it is beneficial to wear shoes that fit correctly. Corns on the feet can cause your walking style to be altered, which naturally compensates for the pain and discomfort that is associated with corns. If you are afflicted with a corn on your foot, please consult with a podiatrist who can offer correct treatment techniques.
