CORNS & AMPUTATION… Save The Foot By Doing This?
What’s the difference between corns and calluses? If both cause pain what does it matter? Good question and simply explained, corns are a mass of hard skin close to the bony part of, or, between the toes--- that commonly happen due to friction caused by tight footwear. While calluses, still hard skin are generally found beneath the foot.
Corns are circular mounds of hardened skin that when squeezed will causer discomfort. Corns typically settle on toes at the top, or on the little toe’s outer side.
Regularly affecting the fourth and fifth toes (in-between) is the SOFT CORN. which supposedly is reasoned by sweat.
Be Clear On The Condition Getting Treated---The Wrong Approach To Make Better Or Repair Can Complicate Matters!
Calluses as opposed to corns are normally bigger and wider with a less defined edge. Usually detected above the bony area below the toes. Not known for pain but can get sore after time.
Continuous pressure and rubbing destroys skin, deadening cells which then hardens turning it into a corn.
Home Help:
An Epsom Salt solution or lemon and baking soda paste treats calluses effectively. A solution of water and salts, or if preferred paste, softens skin---making it easier to remove dead skin with a callus file or pumice stone.
Corn plasters have been with us since Noah’s Ark, so an option to consider, because I’m sure they’d be extinct by now if they didn’t do the job they’re supposed to. Corn plasters are a sort of double whammy treatment---providing instant relief, while ridding the corn itself with an active ingredient called salicylic acid, which helps pare hard skin down (not all corn removal is successful with plasters).
Although not known to be dangerous, never poke a corn or callus with a sharp instrument. If you tear or rip a nerve or blood vessel, it’ll encourage infection which could lead to possible ulceration with an end outcome being surgery to amputate.
