Question 2

how will having corns affect my child's long-term health?

Accepted Answer

Variable: The long term effects are similar to the short term effects if the corns are not treated. This includes potential for pain due to friction/rubbing of corn, including when wearing tight fitting socks or shoes, and redness and swelling around the corn. Other things to watch for are secondary infection, breakdown of the skin at site of corn (ulcer) and formation of a blisters (due to friction).

Question 3

im a teen. how will having corns mess up my health later in life?

Accepted Answer

Foot discomfort: They won't "mess up your life" but they can cause foot discomfort depending on their size and position. They can certainly make wearing certain types of shoes uncomfortable. Diabetics, however, should have corns and callouses removed or trimmed to prevent further problems.

Question 4

would a podiatrist be able to help get rid of corns on your toes?   if so would health insurance pay for the service?

Accepted Answer

Yes indeed: Insurance covers surgical correction of the problem...If treated conservatively for temporary relief insurance will usually not cover it and call it routine care..Get it fixed...You will be glad you did...

Question 5

will removing a corn cause more corns to grow in its place?

Accepted Answer

No: Corns and calluses are caused by repeated pressure or friction against skin.  It is a protective reaction to avoid blisters.  In the foot, corns generally occur due to pressure from ill-fitting shoewear.  
Removing the corn will not cause more corns to grow in their place, but if the original cause of the corn is not changed, the corn will come back.

Question 6

what might cause foot corns and how it can be treated in allopathy?

Accepted Answer

Hammertoe: Hammertoes are caused by an imbalance in the muscle tendons that cause the toes to move up and down. One tendon pulls the toe up while the other tendon deforms the toe by pulling it down at the joints in the toe. Your podiatrist can establish by radiographs and by examinaion what specifically causes your hammertoe problem. Surgical intervention may be indicated if the condition is painful.

Question 7

why do i have corns on the top of my toes? what causes this?

Accepted Answer

Friction: Is the cause and the shape of the toe. Most are hammertoes and can be corrected. The bone under the corn causes the corn and as bone gets larger so does corn. You can pad the area, trim the corns or remove them by surgery.
