Podiatry Exam & Consultation
A soft corn forms between the toes when the bony prominence known
to doctors as the “condyle” of a toe rubs against the condyle of the
adjacent toe while walking. In an attempt to protect the body, nature
builds up a layer of thickened skin (a soft corn) to cushion the bony
prominences. The moisture between the toes keeps the thickened skin
somewhat soft, thus the name “soft corn.” If left untreated, the corns
become quite painful. Although soft corns can form between any tow
toes, they are most often found between the fourth and fifth toes. The
most common procedure used to correct soft corns at LaserFoot
Surgery Specialist is as follows: A small incision is made
on the top of the affected toe and, using a small drill, the condyles are
smoothed down so that these prominences will not rub against one
another. It is usually necessary to wear a post-surgical shoe one week
after the procedure is performed.
