What's inside a corn?

Corns are mainly localized cone-shaped keratin hyperplasia on the skin of the foot. It is also a common skin disease. The onset of it is related to long-term mechanical friction and pressure on the local area, which may cause bone spurs on the foot. It is also quite obvious in life. It is mainly due to friction and pressure on the feet and poor blood circulation, which lead to some diseases such as these, which are also common in life.

It is important to note that medication treatment can not only use some drug therapy, but also some physical therapy. In severe cases, some surgical removal can be used. Traditional Chinese medicine in life is also very important. Below we introduce the treatment methods for corns.

Typical lesions are clearly defined, light yellow or dark yellow, conical keratin plugs with their tips embedded in the skin, about the size of mung beans or broad beans. The leather surface is flat or slightly raised. If you use a knife to scrape off the outer layer, you can see a hard keratin plug in the center and a transparent light yellow ring around it that looks like a corn. It often occurs on the soles of the feet, the outer edge of the little toes, the back of the toes and other places that are prone to friction and compression, but it is not limited to pressure areas. There are usually 1 to 2 cases, but there may be multiple cases. Because the tip of the keratin plug is embedded in the stratum corneum in a wedge shape, its tip presses on the peripheral nerves in the dermis, causing severe pain when standing or walking. The skin lesions that occur between the 4th and 5th toes become softened and moist due to sweat, with a grayish-white softened surface and a foul odor. They are often seen in people who sweat a lot on their feet and wear non-breathable rubber shoes, and are called soft corns.
