Product Information

At least once a week in clinical practice, I will have someone come to me for a painful corn, they have usually tried every treatment available over the counter either to no avail and have further problems made worse by these corn plasters. When I debride the hard skin, I will find the skin has ulcerated beneath and this requires debridement and a regular dressing plan to get the skin stable again. For those who aren’t squeamish there is a great video which shows just how the acid affects the skin and how a podiatrist will debride it. So, I suggest it is best to avoid using corn plasters all Non-prescription treatments and remedies – These treatments and remedies are usually based on cushioning the corn, rather than removing the corn. Compeed Corn Plasters, for example, contain hydrocolloid technology, which provides pain relief by cushioning, protects your corn from further rubbing and at the same time moisturises the area around your corn, helping to remove it. Keep your toenails trimmed. Long toenails can rub on the neighbouring toes or push the toe against the shoe which can cause corns on the toes. To trim your toenails correctly, make sure to cut them straight across and not rounded or angled.

Here are some general tips on how best to prevent corns, without having to give up your favourite activities or your job: What to do: The podiatrist can also enuculate the corn. This means using a scalpel to remove the corn shape of hard skin (corn). The skin that forms a corn and callus is “dead” and thus has no feeling so this is a painless experience. Corn PADS The hydrocolloid plaster technology of Compeed ® plasters help protect and/or relieve your wound, corn or callus at all stages of development : Blisters: to prevent blisters, if you wear new shoes, play sports, haven’t worn shoes in a while or stand all day long. Corns are a cone shape of hard skin caused by pressure and friction which could be caused by ill fitting footwear, changes in foot structure which in turn can affect your gait (the way you walk) or bony deformities. They can be particularly painful and limit walking and footwear. But be aware

Dip the pumice stone in the water and then gently remove the dead skin by circular or sideways motions. Blisters: Compeed ® specialist plasters will help relieve the pain caused by the blister and help the skin heal. Filing – If it is causing irritation, gently filing it down with a pumice stone might help to relieve pressure. Wear comfortable well-fitting shoes. The most common cause for corns on the foot are shoes that are the wrong size or shape. Wide, comfortable shoes with a low heel and soft sole that do not rub are ideal. Since your feet swell slightly during the day, try to shop for shoes in the evening, when your feet are the largest. Also, pay attention to any seams that might cause irritation. This is most often achieved by simply changing to more comfortable footwear or using padding (moleskin or adhesive pads available in pharmacies) until new shoes are broken in. In some cases, insoles might help.

If you have diabetes or poor circulation, you should avoid these treatments, or consult your doctor or chiropodist before any treatment.Cold sores: the Compeed ® discreet patch treats cold sores throughout all stages of development to facilitate healing and resolution. Corns and calluses: the Compeed ® bandages maintain a moisturizing environment to soften the corn, relieving pain, and may eliminate the corn. Unfortunately, the salicylic acid in Corn plasters cannot distinguish between healthy skin and corn and, as a such, can burn the skin quite severely spreading to surrounding healthy skin. The paste in corn plasters spreads to surrounding tissue blistering and burning the skin. The corn and the surrounding skin become white and soggy and more often than not the centre where the corn was remains with the skin beneath becoming fragile and breaking down under the weight of the corn. This leads to wounds, ulcers and infection. This is particularly important to avoid for people with diabetes and circulatory conditions as well as those who are immunocompromised but they can more often than not affect healthy young people too!

Scraping – Trimming by scraping is generally only necessary for the removal of large painful corns. Scraping should be performed by a foot specialist. If you would like to trim your corn yourself you can file it. Blisters: Compeed ® specialist bandages will help relieve the pain caused by the blister and help the skin heal fast. Pay attention to your feet! Take care of any irritation or pain directly and if necessary see a foot specialist regularly.Small corns generally require little to no treatment and usually go away by themselves if you avoid the pressure causing them. If your corn causes irritation or pain, there are several ways to relieve the pressure and treat the corn. When treated, corns usually take about two to four weeks to disappear. In all cases, taking care of your feet, washing and drying them well and moisturising them regularly helps. Avoid wearing ill-fitting shoes where possible. Try not to wear shoes that are too tight, too loose, too high or have badly placed seams. Types of shoes such as high heels, pointed-toe heels and high arched boots are generally not well adapted for wearing for long periods of time. Corns and calluses: the Compeed ® plaster maintains an environment which removes the corn by moisturizing and softening it and helps relieve pain.
