High Heels May Cause Corns

black-legs.jpgAlthough high heels are fashionable, they should not be your first choice in footwear if you care about your foot health. Corns are one of the many issues that stem from wearing heels, though they can easily be prevented.  Corns are an area of thickened skin on the foot, and they mainly occur near the toes. They are the result of repeated pressure on the skin. It is important to wear appropriate footwear in order to maintain healthy and beautiful feet. 

If you have any concerns about your feet and ankles contact Dr. Mayer Salama, D.P.M. of Salama Foot Care. Dr. Salama can provide the care you need to keep your pain free and on your feet.

Corns: What are they? And how do you get rid of them?
Corns can be described as areas of the skin that have thickened to the point of becoming painful or irritating. They are often layers and layers of the skin that have become dry and rough, and are normally smaller than calluses.

Ways to Prevent Corns
There are many ways to get rid of painful corns such as wearing:
- Well-fitting socks
- Comfortable shoes that are not tight around your foot
- Shoes that offer support

Treating Corns
Treatment of corns involves removing the dead skin that has built up in the specific area of the foot. Salicylic acid can help in getting rid of these corns because it dissolves keratin, which is the protein that makes up a good majority of corns. Podiatrists recommend that people with diabetes not use salicylic acid but should consult with their podiatrist regarding the treatment of corns.
