The pain

Corns are small areas of thickened skin that develop due to repeated pressure or friction, often from ill-fitting shoes or abnormal foot mechanics. While they may be small, the pain they cause can be significant. Corns can feel like walking on a pebble with every step, creating constant discomfort. This pain can make it difficult to wear certain shoes or walk comfortably, affecting your daily life. Beyond the physical pain, corns can be unsightly, leading to embarrassment and self-consciousness about your feet.

The impact

Painful corns can impact your life in more ways than you might realize. They can limit your choice of footwear, forcing you to avoid stylish shoes that you love. The constant pain can make walking a challenge, discouraging you from enjoying activities that require you to be on your feet, such as shopping, traveling, or simply taking a walk in the park. Over time, the ongoing discomfort can lead to frustration and negatively affect your mood and quality of life.

If unresolved

Ignoring painful corns can lead to more severe problems. Corns can grow larger and deeper, causing increased pain and discomfort. If left untreated, they may lead to ulcers or infections, especially in individuals with diabetes or poor circulation. Additionally, continuing to walk or stand in a way that avoids putting pressure on the corn can lead to other foot and joint problems due to altered gait patterns.
