Question 1

i had a corn on both pinky toes that were risen and lighter than my brown complexion. after removal, the skin where the corns use to be is now bright red (i feel no pain). will this redness fade and turn brown again? it has been a week since removal.

Accepted Answer

I time: The red color will subside.  You need to ensure that you avoid the kind of shoes that caused the corns in the first place.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Question 4

how to eliminate corns on toes?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Corns on toes can be caused by extrinsic (shoewear) and/or intrinsic factors.  Eliminating tight shoes is the first step.  Corn care with shaving, soaks, and padding can help.  Occasionally, surgery is recommended for corns caused from toe deformities that don't respond to nonoperative measures.  See a foot specialist for evaluation.

Question 5

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.

Question 6

Question 7
