Meta
Severe or persistent corns need to be treated, although they rarely require surgery. Persons suffering from diabetes, or artherosclerosis should not treat a corn on their own, as it can increase the risk of infection. They are acid preparations to reduce corns and calluses. A commonly used preparation is a mixture of salicylic acid,lactic acids and collodion (Duofilm, Salactic Film and Viranol). Over the counter acids are weaker than the ones prescribed.
Acids should not be used by diabetic patients and are not advisable for individuals with impaired sensation or for the elderly with thin skin. Medicated pads are also available. Comfortable shoes should be worn.
Protect your feet from corn and calluses; but if you do suffer then take the necessary precautions to avoid any discomfort. One need not worry about them, if they are not painful.
hope this answers youe question bye
