Question 1

what can i do for hammer toes, and a corn on second toe ?

Accepted Answer

Pad the corn: First of all, the pain from a corn can be managed with corn pads. I always recommend non-medicated pads because the acid can cause problems. If the corn itself is painful, a podiatrist can pare it down and relieve the pain.  There are also splints to straighten hammertoes. There is also surgery to correct hammertoes. Visit your podiatrist to see what is the best treatment for you.

Question 4

how would you recommend i cure my corns on my toes?

Accepted Answer

Surger: Surgery is the only option of removing corns from your toes. Over the counter pads with acids do not work and the lesion will return. Also they cause more harm by damaging the "good" skin of your toes. Corns arise from the pressure caused by the bone deformity and removing this deformity will help. Wider shoes can be used to provide comfort.
