Corn pad: You may apply a corn pad, available over the counter, to the site to prevent friction. You may also use sallicylic acid cream to soften the lesion and scrap the excess tissue.

I run ultras. I recently added a carbon fiber plate to help my ball of foot and toe pain under my Rx orthotic for Platar F, but it alters the fit of my shoes. Would a carbon fiber running shoe offer me the same benefits as the carbon fiber insert?
