Hammertoes: Corns and calluses are a result of contracture of the toes, and plantarflexing of the metatarsals. Hammertoes are a common problem that can result in corns over the joints.

Corns and callouses: Can't be "ingorwn." they may feel painful and deep, but they don't grow "in." they are usually a symptom of a structural problem of the bones which cause rubbing on the floor or a shoe.

is there any homeopathic medicine to cure foot corn i am having a foot corn under my foot thumb, i am applying corn/callous removers from last 1 month but its not helping , now from last one week i realized that some more small corns are   coming up near

Accepted Answer

First, : First, i would make sure it is a corn as opposed to a callus.  Corns are caused by too much pressure in combination with friction.  They are essentially the bodies way of protecting the area from the pressure and friction.  Calluses are more diffuse whereas corns are more cone-like thickenings.  The most homeopathic treatment would be to make sure your footwear is appropriate and not putting too much pressure on certain areas of your foot.  Beyond that, traditional measures can help combined with finding a good podiatrist.  I hope that helps.

my two big toes are curved, i think theyre just crooked. i have a callus on one of them. i have corns right underneath my pinkie toes. both feet. my feet are also flat. pinkie toenails are black. also ingrown. i just dont know what to do?

Accepted Answer

: It is best to see a professional for physical evaluation like a podiatrist. You may need to be evaluated especially about your foot wear and probably for surgical intervention to correct the concerning deformities. You should wear wide width shoes; rather than the tapering shoes that may have contributed to the current situation, though fashionable they may be.
