Hotter Shoes

The skin on the soles of our feet is thicker than any other part of our body. This helps to protect the bones and joints of the foot and allows us to walk comfortably. However, if excessive pressure or friction is placed on the skin, it may thicken to protect itself, this is known as a callus. If a callus becomes very thick, it can irritate the tissues around it, causing pain and inflammation. Corns tend to form over areas of very high pressure such as the tops of the toes or on the ball of the foot. The most common type is called a hard corn, which is an area of compressed skin, often within a larger callus. Other types include soft corns, which form between the toes - these have a whitish appearance due to the increased moisture in that area.To treat calluses, apply a good quality moisturising cream to the feet daily and use a foot file or pumice stone once or twice a week. Corns are very difficult to treat yourself, so it’s best to seek advice of a podiatrist.
