How to remove a soft corn between toes?
A Corn is a build up of skin caused by friction or pressure mostly from shoes.
A hard corn and soft corn between toes normally appears when you wear too tight shoes or boots,
Your feet are pushed and squashed together causing the toes to rub each other as you walk.
Its the action of movement and confined space in the shoes that cause corns to form.
Soft corn in between toes are SOFT because your toes are tight against each other,
The skin sweats and air ventilation between the toes is limited, this then causes the skin to become clammy and wet.

Soft corns between the toes look very different to hard corns which look like a circular hard pin head.
The white circle around the corn is wet sweaty skin and the callous is sunken.
Its the soft white skin that makes it so hard to remove the corn with a scalpel so hardening the soft corn always helps to remove it quicker.

When you apply a standard corn plaster to your skin you need to know what to expect!
Corn plasters ( except Compeed plasters) all contains salicylic acid,
Yes Acid.
After about 10 minutes your toe will begin to get warm as the acid embeds into your skin,
Corn plasters have a reputation for not staying in place ,
this is due to your bodies skin temperature warming or even if you have cool feet.
P
laster find it difficult to stick and they slide and move and when this happens to corn plasters with acid you will feel discomfort and burning.
That burning sensation is the acid burning healthy skin not the corn.
