What is the best way to treat corns under the toes?
Asked by Male, 30 · 2 months ago
Corns under the toes can be treated by soaking your feet in warm water to soften the hard skin, gently rubbing the area with a pumice stone, applying a thick moisturizing or urea based cream, using soft toe pads, and wearing comfortable wide footwear to reduce pressure, and if the corn stays painful or if you have diabetes or poor circulation it is safer to see a podiatrist for proper removal and assessment.
