Definition of corns

Corns are cone-shaped thickenings of the cornea that grow inward. A corn is a callus caused by permanent pressure on skin close to the bone, usually painful, with a central spur directed into the depth.

How do corns develop?

Mostly corns develop in places where solid material or bones rub against the skin. Incorrect or too tight shoes as well as inadequate foot care promote their formation. The callus becomes thicker and thicker and starts to grow, which causes corns to form.

Causes of corns

Corns are often caused by improperly fitted shoes, but foot malpositions can also be responsible for their formation.

Corns that develop even without orthopedic problems of the feet and despite well-fitting footwear occur very rarely. However, there are also people who have a genetic tendency to increased callus formation.

What to do against corns?

It is not advisable to remove corns yourself. They should be removed exclusively by podiatrists or experts in medical foot care. Various methods are used for this purpose.

The callus is disinfected at the beginning. The cornification is then professionally, skillfully and competently removed with a scalpel, and the cut edges are smoothed out with a cutter.

Prevention

In many cases it is necessary to repeat the treatment at regular intervals, otherwise the corns will form again quickly.

However, the most important thing is to eliminate the trigger so that the corns do not keep reforming. Often this means avoiding high and tight shoes.
