See your podiatrist for removal of a corn and for a thorough examination of your feet. To avoid corn development, it is important always to get a proper shoe fit for each foot. Thick socks are recommended for all sports activities and for recreational walking. When wearing thick socks, wear a larger shoe size. These simple cautionary measures are critical to avoiding possible unwanted pressure on your feet - and the corns that can result.
Corns are also manifestations of the body's efforts to protect itself.
Protective or not, once formed they can cause extreme discomfort, even pain. The result can be a limiting of actions involving the affected foot - reduced mobility for a time, and altered lifestyle.
