If you have diabetes or poor circulation, you should avoid these treatments, or consult your doctor or chiropodist before any treatment. Treatments can help resolve the corn in around 2-4 weeks, but generally, they return if the source of pressure causing it remains. Therefore, it is important to find the source of the pressure and avoid it. Cold sores: the Compeed ® discreet patch treats cold sores throughout all stages of development to facilitate healing and resolution.
Blisters: Compeed ® specialist bandages will help relieve the pain caused by the blister and help the skin heal fast. 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. 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. Corns and calluses: the Compeed ® plaster maintains an environment which removes the corn by moisturizing and softening it and helps relieve pain.

Blisters: to prevent blisters, if you wear new shoes, play sports, haven’t worn shoes in a while or stand all day long. Please note, that if you have insensitive skin due to poor circulation, diabetes or nerve damage, you should consult a chiropodist before treatment.
Dip the pumice stone in the water and then gently remove the dead skin by circular or sideways motions. Depending on variations in the individual body’s defence mechanisms a cold sore outbreak sometimes can be more severe in comparison to how the outbreak usually appears in that individual. This can happen independently from the applied treatment. The area of the lesion may be bigger with more blisters developing and/or several foci may develop in different areas by degrees, often accompanied with increased pain. Even if you are wearing well-fitted and adapted footwear, repetitive actions, such as exercise or walking and standing at work might cause corns. Professions with a high risk of developing corns include postal workers, nurses and waiters/waitresses.Step 2: File the callus with a pumice stone or foot file.– Once the callus is softened, you can file it with a pumice stone. Dip the pumice stone in water and then gently remove the dead skin by circular or sideways motions. You can also use a foot file as an exfoliating tool. Pay attention not to remove too much skin as this might cause bleeding and infection. Instead, remove only small amounts and repeat the action regularly until the callus disappears. Blisters: Compeed ® specialist plasters will help relieve the pain caused by the blister and help the skin heal. They cause many problems I see in clinic and I don’t think ANY person regardless of age, medical conditions should use them What are Corn plasters? Cold sore: when a cold sore flare-up occurs, Compeed ® Cold Sore Patch can be applied from the first sign of symptoms (tingling) to facilitate healing. 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! Examples
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.

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 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. 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.
Blisters: at the first signs of irritation or blister formation, the Compeed ® blister cushion will relieve the pain due to friction thanks to its cushioning effect.
Pharmacy product
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 Corns and calluses: the Compeed ® bandages maintain a moisturizing environment to soften the corn, relieving pain, and may eliminate the corn. Over-the-counter treatments include salicylic acid, which helps to dissolve the keratin structure that makes up the dead skin. Salicylic acid treatment is available in different concentrations and comes as a cream, pad, or plaster.
