1. What Are Corns?

Corns are thickened, hardened areas of skin that form due to repeated pressure or friction—commonly on the feet or toes. They develop as a protective response but can become painful or infected if left untreated.

2. Signs and Symptoms of Corns

• Small, Round, Raised Bumps: Often found on toes, heels, or soles
• Pain on Pressure: Especially when walking or wearing tight shoes
• Hard Center Surrounded by Inflamed Skin
• Dry or Waxy Surface Texture
• Discomfort in Footwear: Narrow shoes worsen the condition

3. Causes and Risk Factors

• Ill-Fitting Footwear: Tight shoes or high heels that cause friction
• Repetitive Pressure: From walking, running, or standing for long hours
• Foot Deformities: Hammertoes, bunions, or abnormal gait
• Lack of Foot Protection: Walking barefoot on hard surfaces
• Manual Labor or Barefoot Activity (in hand corns)

4. Types of Corns

• Hard Corns: Small, dense, thickened areas usually on top of toes or outer foot
• Soft Corns: White, rubbery in texture, found between toes due to moisture
• Seed Corns: Tiny corns on the bottom of the foot, often painless
• Neurovascular Corns: Corns with nerve and blood vessel involvement (painful)

5. Differential Diagnosis

It’s important to distinguish corns from similar conditions like calluses, plantar warts, or bunions. At CureYou, we conduct a careful assessment to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

6. Can Corns Be Prevented?

Yes, with the right care:

• Wear properly fitted, cushioned shoes
• Use protective pads or socks
• Avoid prolonged pressure on specific foot areas
• Maintain good foot hygiene
• Moisturize dry skin regularly

7. Dietary Tips for Corn-Prone Individuals

While corns are mechanical in origin, overall skin and tissue health matter:

• Add: Vitamin A (carrots, pumpkin), Vitamin E (almonds, seeds), Omega-3s (flaxseeds, walnuts)
• Stay hydrated to keep skin soft and flexible
• Avoid: Processed, sugary foods that can worsen skin inflammation
