What to do if corns grow on toes

We also call corns corns. Corns mostly appear on people who walk or stand frequently, so we should pay attention to corns. Corns are easy to prevent because as long as we reduce squeezing and friction, corns will not occur in us. So what should we do if we have corns on our feet?

We do have certain treatments for corns on the toes, so there is no need to be afraid. We can use medication to deal with corns on the toes, or we can use diet therapy to deal with corns on the toes.

Corns are generally more likely to occur in people who stand and walk for long periods of time. Friction and pressure are the main causes of corns. It is actually the hyperplasia of keratin caused by long-term pressure and friction on the local skin of the foot. Patients with corns are generally prone to skin lesions in the affected area, which are commonly round or oval in shape, with localized keratin hyperplasia that can be as large as soybeans and are often accompanied by pain. They need to be treated in time to avoid infection, and corresponding prevention measures should also be taken in daily life.

1. External corrosive agents

You can apply corn plaster or corn ointment externally. You can also use 10% salicylic acid glacial acetic acid, 30% salicylic acid collodion and crystal ointment. Topical corrosive agents must protect the surrounding skin. You can cut a small hole in the center of the zinc oxide tape, the same size as the skin lesion, and stick it on the skin lesion to expose the lesion. Use thin strips of tape to roll into a rope to surround the hole to form a dam. Then apply the medicine and cover it with a large piece of tape. Seal it and change the dressing once every 3 to 7 days until it falls off.

2. Physical therapy

Electrocautery, carbon dioxide laser cauterization, contact X-ray irradiation.

3. Surgical resection.

1. Corns usually occur on the soles and toes of the feet. They are mainly caused by long-term local pressure, friction, or invasion of foreign objects, which causes the stratum corneum to proliferate and invade the dermis. Corns are usually painful and uncomfortable when walking and need to be treated promptly.

2. Corns can generally be treated with topical medications. You can use the best method to treat corns, or apply medication to the damaged area, but you must pay attention to protecting normal skin to avoid damage to the normal skin. If symptoms are severe, patients should seek treatment.
