CORN PLASTERS AVAILABLE ON THE COUNTER ,THEY DO NOT TREAT THE CAUSE OF CORN.
& SALICYLIC ACID CORN CAPS NOT SUITABLE TO ALL.
KEEP THE FEET CLEAN & DRY.
CAN APPLY MOISTURIZING CREAM.
PUT YOUR FEET IN WARM WATER TO MAKE THEM SOFT.
TREATMENT IS TO REMOVE THE CAUSE THAT IS PRESSURE & FRICTION.
ILL FITTED & HIGH HEELED SHOES ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE.
IF YOU CUT IT, CHANCES OF INFECTION ARE THERE.
IN DIABETICS HIGH RISK OF INFECTION.
IF IT IS MILD,DOES NOT CAUSE PROBLEM , YOU CAN WAIT.
CONSULT PODIATRIST (FOOT DOCTOR)/ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON BUT MANY A TIMES IT REOCCUR IN SPITE OF SURGERY.
