This week I want to talk about corns. Corns are small lumps of hard skin. They are caused by pressure or rubbing of the skin. Which could be caused by the wrong sized shoes, heels. It could also be cause by the seams of your socks or just an irritation in the show itself.
There are corn plasters for sale which will relieve the pressure. However, try to avoid cornplasters that are medicated. This will cause skin issues around the corn itself, you just need felted plasters.
To prevent the hard skin building up in the first place, you can use a pumice stone on the area and you can moisture the foot. Never use something like a razor blade to remove the corn, as you may cause injury to yourself. Please seek help from a professional like myself.
