Ditto Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Lots of remedies posted on the internet. But has anyone here been successful? If so, what did you do to get rid of the painful thing? I have one on the underside of my 4th toe and it hurts to walk without shoes/socks and is pretty big. I have never had one before so this is new and not fun!

cintinative Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I have used the over the counter corn pads. Usually after a few days I can use a pumice stone/peel back the dead tissue and I have a lot of relief. the trick is to not get them again. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In researching the causes, nothing fits. Were you able to get a pumice stone in the tiny area behind the toe? Tomorrow I am buying corn pads and a pumice stone.

Were you able to get a pumice stone in the tiny area behind the toe? Tomorrow I am buying corn pads and a pumice stone. I get them sort of between the last two toes but slightly behind. It is hard to get pumice in there but sometimes I can. My husband has a sort of pumice wand that works. ETA: stick? Pumice wand pictures are wrong mine is because of my toe shape, but I also need a wide toe box. If you get them chronically and well-fitting shoes don’t work, orthotics might help. 🙂 Edited August 18, 2023 by cintinative 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had something I thought was a corn but it was a plantar wart if there's no reason it has occurred in that location, is there a trusted adult who can look closely for a black dot? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered about this, too. Plantar warts often but do not always have a black dot. You can also look to see if the pattern of skin lines (toe prints!) is disrupted. Warts will disrupt the pattern, while corns will not. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you both! I investigated and it is definitely a corn. This is good info, thank you for sharing it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
