It has been more than 2 years since I last posted something about bunion treatments here, but I just got news that the non surgical bunion treatment as used by Milly Ng in HongKong (see the blog post below - Microcurrent treatment) is now also available in the US. I think this is really good news! This is a very common question that we hear all the time, so it needs to be addressed.
When a corn develops apply a compeed plaster which are soft gel plasters that mould to the skin and once removed pulls the core of the corn out. When hammer toes and bunion corns and callous are present the best solution is a 2 in 1 bunion protector and corrector which are a combination of a toe spreader and a bunion shield moulded in one support. These successfully stop friction and correct the bunion into its natural position allowing the hammer toe to sit correctly. You may begin to see a thickening or actual bump forming where the toe and foot meet on the inner edge of the foot.
A corn is a thicker more focal area with a central core which usually forms over a bony prominence such as a joint. Common causes of corns and callus include; footwear that is poorly fitted i.e. too tight, toe deformities such as clawed toes, bony prominences and gait (walking) abnormalities. These contain acid that help to 'eat away' the corn however, the acid cannot tell the difference between a corn and normal skin and it will eat away whatever you put it on. Use of these types of remedies can be very dangerous and risky in those with poor circulation and/or diabetes and is not recommended. You could also spray your feet with a spray.
A full gait analysis and pressure analysis examination can be performed in the office which will aid in pinpointing the exact bone deformity that is causing the painful callus. Very tight or narrow shoes can also aid in the formation of corns and calluses due to the excessive pressure from the shoe gear. Non-medicated corn pads are also very helpful to place on the toes to help prevent re-currence of the lesions and to help prevent pain while in shoe gear. The higher the heel the greater the body column change.
Bunions , corns, and calluses can be protected with non medicated felt pads or cloth tape, they can also be treated with an ice pack to ease the pain. The most important tip is to wear the right shoes that form well to your foot and cause no discomfort. Your local drug store carries creams and liquids specialized for treating or easing the pain of these ailments!

is best followed up with supportive therapies to prevent a recurrence of your health problem. A bunion occurs when the big toe is angled inward toward the rest of the toes. Bunions are characterized by a large bump that protrudes out of the side of the foot. This bump is the joint of the big toe that is being pushed awkwardly out of position. While the exact cause of bunion formation is not completely understood, it seems to run in families.
