Corns and Calluses

When the affected toe rubs against the inside of a shoe, it can lead to corns and calluses. They can form on the top of the middle joint, between two toes or on the ball of the foot. Depending on their location, corns and calluses can be either hard or soft.

These symptoms can become painful and aggravate the hammertoe. Footpads can help prevent corns and calluses from rubbing against shoes. Particularly painful corns may need to be surgically removed by a doctor.
