What to do if corns grow on your feet? There are some tips for treating corns

It is not uncommon to have corns. If we want to treat them well, we can choose to use corn ointment. In addition, surgical treatment and traditional Chinese medicine remedies are also very effective. Of course, the most important thing is to pay attention to the problem of wearing shoes in daily life.

1. Corn plasters . Softeners are mostly used in foreign countries. After softening the corns, the corns can be removed and the foot skin can be better protected. Domestic corn plasters are mostly based on highly irritating chemical reagents. While treating corns, they can also cause skin damage. For some wounds that heal slowly or are difficult to heal, there is a risk of infection, especially for diabetic patients.

2. Surgical treatment , including surgical resection, or laser burning, electrocautery, X-ray irradiation, etc.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine remedies : Traditional Chinese medicine believes that corns are caused by blocked meridians, disharmony of Qi and blood, and stagnation in the face. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment mainly focuses on harmonizing Qi and blood.

▲Clinical studies have confirmed that once corns and calluses appear, the local bone structure of the foot has already changed. Therefore, we need to pay more attention to prevention and observation in our daily lives. The instrument box must be disinfected before use to avoid cross infection caused by inadequate disinfection of metal instruments.

【Pay attention to wearing shoes】

Pay attention to the length and height of the shoes: The height of the shoes is critical to whether you get corns or not. Because the toe box of some shoes is too low, your toes will always rub against the shoes and cause corns.

Avoid wearing narrow shoes: If your corns are soft

, then it is very likely that your shoes are not wide enough, causing your toes to be squeezed tightly together and rub against each other to form corns. Therefore, a shoe-wearing principle we should follow is to avoid wearing shoes with pointed toes, and try to choose shoes with round toes.

Check your old shoes: It doesn’t mean that only new shoes will rub your feet. Old shoes that have been worn for a long time can sometimes also cause unexpected problems.
