See a podiatrist: A corn is thickened skin that gets compressed into a hard core. A podiatrist can debride the corn and pad the area. Padding the area to prevent rubbing is a conservative treatment. If the problem persists there are surgical options that include procedures to make the toe smaller thus stopping the rubbing from your shoe.

See a podiatrist: Corns are callouses on the toes and are caused mainly by shoe irritation over a period of time. They can just be trimmed by a podiatrist, but will usually come back. The real cause is bony enlargement or malpositioning of the toe. There is a real simple surgert to smooth off the underlying bone and the corn should go away permanently. You can also have your shoes stretched or wear wider shoes.
