How are corns treated?

Many ways: Corns can be trimmed and padded. Toe splints can be used to stop the toes from rubibng each other or on the top of the shoes. Surgery can also be performed to remove the underlying problem which is usually a deformity of the toe or a bone spur.

Hammertoes: Corns usually signify that you have hammertoes depending on how severe they are you may need either just shaving of the skin or may need a hammertoe surgery.

Cause: Sometime the cause of a callus (corn) is from rubbing on the outside of the foot and sometimes the problem is cause by the bones on the inside of the foot. An examination can assess the difference. There are several types of "corns" including but not limited to: tyloma, heloma molle, heloma duram, intractable plantar keratoma, and a external keratoma. Finding out which it is determines treatment
