Corns<\/em>\u00a0are normally small in size and are hard circles of thick skin that typically develop in patches on the tops and sides of toes or on the sole of the foot. This is usually in response to an injury or pressure and whilst not uncommon they can become very painful.<\/p>\n

There are 3 main types of corns:<\/p>\n

Hard Corn<\/h4>\n

The most common type of corn which is typically hard to the touch and can be likened to the feel of a small stone in your shoe when walking. Hard round masses of yellow tinged skin, a hard corn is generally uncomfortable and painful on direct pressure.<\/p>\n

Seed Corn<\/h4>\n

Seed Corns are very small, hard structures which look like yellow \u2018seeds\u2019 and are typically found on areas of callus under the foot, they are not usually related to direct pressure.<\/p>\n

Soft Corns<\/h4>\n

Soft corns typically form in moist areas such as between the toes and are quite common. They appear white and rubbery and are often very sore when the toes rub against each other.<\/p>\n

All 3 types of corns can make putting on footwear difficult and walking painful, however the good news is in most cases they can be easily removed.<\/p>\n
