Specializes in Podiatry

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 surgery to smooth off the underlying bone and the corn should go away permanently. You can also have your shoes stretched or wear wider shoes.

Bone spurs: Bone spur between toes, most often occur because of hammer toes or irregular metatarsal bone (long bones in the foot that connect to the toes) length. These irregularities or digital deformities cause 2 toes to rub together irritating the prominate aspects of adjacent bones. Your podiatrist can best evaluate your condition clinically and with x-rays.
