A member asked:

Little toe - pain anytime i wear shoes(sneakers, etc.) hard skin (corn) but pain all the time unless i am not wearing shoes. what can be done?

Avoid pressure to it: This is very common. The little toe is rubbing the side/end of the shoe and becomes sore. There can be a callous or corn and sometimes a pad will help. Sometimes there is a underlying bone spur to the area and surgery can remove it. Sometimes just changing the shoe choice will resolve the problem. If the pad and shoe choice do not help see a podiatrist.

An arthroplasty: This is a surgery to shave down the bone or cut a piece out hat causes the corn to develop. It is a quick procedure about 20 minutes, often done as an outpatient. The problem should be solved forever after that.
