Complications of Corns

Corns are hardened spots of skin that can develop on the feet in response to pressure or friction. Specifically, corns develop on, near, and between the toes. Sometimes, corns can grow on an individual’s feet because their shoes are ill-fitting and too tight, causing the material to repeatedly rub up against the foot. This creates the kind of friction that causes corns. There are several complications associated with this particular foot affliction to be aware of. First, in severe cases of corns, the individual may experience a sensation of pain at the affected area. Having a particularly troublesome corn could also negatively impact your gait and capacity to walk or run. Severe cases of corns, if left unaddressed and untreated, might also lead to infections. Healthy tissues in and around the affected area on the foot could also be harmed or damaged by corns. If you have corns on your feet, contact a podiatrist and schedule an appointment today. This foot specialist can help you try to avoid these complications.

If you have any concerns regarding your feet and ankles, contact Adriana Strimbu, DPM of Complete Foot & Ankle Care. Our doctor will treat your foot and ankle needs.
