CORN

Corns are white or yellow thick layers of cone-shaped dead skin cells that are bumpy and rough. They are usually found along the toe bones where the tip of the corn can press against a nerve. They can appear either on top and between the toes and even on pinkie toes.

Types of Corns

* Hard Corns: are compact patches of tougher skin with a hard core.

* Soft Corns: tend to be reddish, tender and sensitive with a smoother center and are usually found between the toes. They occur more in diabetics.

* Seed Corn: appear as a dense hill of dead skin. They are extremely painful, tender and more commonly located on the heel or balls of the feet.

Corn Treatment
