Corns develop over bony prominences due to applied pressure, typically from footwear. Sometimes, a toe deformity, such as a hammer toe, may lead to the formation of a corn. Corns can be extremely painful if left untreated, as the skin underneath can become damaged and break down. Corns between the toes can be especially painful and impede walking and mobility.

Firstly, check which shoes may be causing the corn to develop and opt for footwear that is wide, deep, and long enough for your foot. You can also purchase foam or gel toe sleeves to help alleviate pressure from a deformed toe.

If you are in pain and the pain persists, you should see a Podiatrist who will diagnose the problem, remove the corn under strict infection control conditions, and explain why it is developing. They will also give you advice to prevent it from recurring.

People with diabetes are advised not to treat their own corns.

For an appointment at Reid Podiatry, phone us on 01889 801772 or make an appointment via the website www.reidpodiatry.com

Don't let your corns limit your mobility!

Where has the summer gone? The bank holiday weekend is upon us and it is not long to the beginning of the autumn months.

We have had an amazingly busy summer in the clinic. Our reception team has done a fantastic job managing the appointments, trying to fit everyone in before they went on holiday. Our clinicians have worked their socks off with most appointment slots being filled. They all deserve their holidays and some time off this week and in the upcoming weeks.

We will be closed on Monday for the bank holiday and open again on Tuesday next week.

Wishing you all a happy bank holiday weekend!

👣 Menopause & Your Feet – Yep, It’s a Thing!
Ladies, if you’ve hit menopause and suddenly your feet feel sore, dry, or just off—you’re not imagining it. Hormonal changes (especially less oestrogen) can lead to:
• Thinner foot padding = more pain when walking
• Dry, cracked heels
• Achy joints or arches that feel like they’re collapsing
• Even your shoe size might change!
👟 The good news? There are ways to help:
✅ Wear supportive shoes (your flip-flops might be betraying you)
✅ Moisturize those feet daily
✅ Try inserts or orthotics for extra comfort
✅ Stay active, stretch, and don’t ignore ongoing pain
Menopause affects every part of us—including the feet we stand on. Take care of them! 💖
