Feel like you tried everything to treat your Morton’s...
Therefore, the best ways to avoid thick painful skin build up is to:
Wear appropriate size shoe gear: The Goldilocks Theory
Wearing shoes that are too small or too tight will squeeze the foot
Wearing shoes that are too big will cause your feet to slide and lead to friction
Small protrusions of the shoe from a stitch or seam can rub your toes
Don’t forget about your socks
Wearing a sock that is too big will take up unwanted room in your shoegear and irritate your foot
At home treatments are available:
Non-medicated corn pads with a hole in the middle
Lamb’s wool between toes to buffer them
Foam or silicone toe interspacers or toe caps
If home treatments do not provide any relief, we strongly encourage an in-office visitation. A corn or callus is not always just a build-up of thick tissue. You may have a wart (viral) infection or the skin build-up could be due to the way that you walk. In that case, medical treatment is recommended. Let’s get you back to being pain free. If you think you have a corn or a callus, call us today for an in-office appointment.
