Morton's Neuroma Treatment usually involves wearing wider shoes and taking oral medications to decrease the swelling around the nerve. A pad on the sole of the foot to spread the bones is often helpful. Your doctor also may inject cortisone around the nerve. If your difficulty continues, surgery to remove the neuroma may be suggested. Corns and Calluses Common sites for corns and calluses are on the big toe and the fifth toe.
Soft corns can occur between the toes.
Treatment involves relieving the pressure on the skin, usually by modifying the shoe. Pads to relieve the bony pressure are helpful, but they must be positioned carefully. On occasion, surgery is necessary to remove a bony prominence that causes the corn or callus. Hammertoes Hammertoes are one of several types of toe deformities. The resulting deformity can be aggravated by tight shoes and usually results in pain over the prominent bony areas on the top of the toe and at the end of the toe.
