Understanding Foot Corn Disease
Foot corn disease, also known as heloma or clavus, is a common foot condition that affects many individuals. It occurs when the skin on the foot undergoes excessive friction or pressure, leading to the formation of thickened patches of dead skin.
Symptoms and Causes
The symptoms of foot corn disease can vary, but common indicators include the presence of a hardened and raised bump on the skin surface, tenderness or pain, and discomfort while wearing shoes. Corns are often caused by various factors such as:
- Ill-fitting footwear
- High levels of physical activity
- Abnormal foot structure
- Excessive pressure on certain areas of the foot
Prevention
Preventing foot corn disease involves adopting good foot care practices and making some lifestyle modifications. Here are some preventive measures you can take:
- Wear properly fitted shoes that provide adequate support and cushioning.
- Avoid wearing high heels or tight shoes for prolonged periods.
- Use protective padding or insoles to reduce pressure on vulnerable areas.
- Maintain good foot hygiene by regularly cleaning and moisturizing your feet.
The Foot Practice's Approach to Foot Corn Disease Treatment
At The Foot Practice, our highly skilled podiatrists employ a comprehensive approach to treat foot corn disease. We focus on addressing the underlying causes, delivering effective treatment, and providing long-term relief. Our treatment options include:
1. Debridement and Removal Techniques
We use specialized tools to carefully remove the hardened layers of skin from the affected areas. This process, known as debridement, helps to alleviate pain and discomfort while encouraging healthy skin growth.
2. Custom Orthotics
To correct foot alignment issues contributing to corn formation, we may recommend custom orthotic inserts. These provide support and redistribute pressure, reducing the risk of corn recurrence.
3. Footwear Modification
Our podiatrists can assess your current footwear and recommend modifications or alternative options to ensure proper fit and alleviate pressure on vulnerable areas.
4. Pain Management
If you experience significant pain due to foot corn disease, our team can provide various pain management techniques, such as applying medicated patches or prescribing topical creams to relieve discomfort.
5. Education and Prevention
At The Foot Practice, we believe in empowering our patients with knowledge. We provide comprehensive education on foot care, footwear selection, and preventive measures to ensure the long-term health of your feet.
