I have never had any problems with my feet. Then it seemed so suddenly I had a corn on the ball of my foot located on the bone near my big toe. I think it's from using an elliptical machine seven days a week. It's small, but very painful when I walk around barefoot or with socks. I have been strengthening my ACLs in both knees, so exercise options are limited. I must be putting the same pressure repeatedly in the same spot.

I am suffering some pain and excessive bleeding from a corn that has developed on the inside midde of the second finger of the right hand. There is no pressure. Is not responding to OTC corn removal pads or drops except to whiten skin and cause the corn to swell. Each time the corn bursts, there is a lot of bleeding and then it all starts over again.

I am suffering acute pain on my right foot, even after I removed the corns two times at the hospital. It keeps recurring and is very painful. It's on the part where much of the pressure is there while walking. I cannot run, and my walking looks like limping. I don't have any other health problems, but it is bothering me a lot.

My mother in law has corns on her toes on both feet, it's been now 19 years she had lots of treatment done to get rid of her corns. Her corns got that worse now she can't even walk without wearing any soft pad shoes on the floor. I am doing some research right now so how she can get rid from these corns and walk properly.

I all of a sudden got what I know now to be a corn on my left foot. My doctor told me it was a wart the podiatrist told me was a callus now after researching it is a corn and extremely painful at times. I often get woken up from extreme throbbing pain in the morning. At times I am limping because of the pain as well but other times like now I have no pain. I have dug and dug at the corn trying to relieve my pain.

I have a corn between last two toes (small toe) I have been to see a podiatrist who has shaved off the corn many times and has given me many remedies but the best remedy I have found is toe socks that I wear to keep toes from touching. I bought mine online.

I am suffering acute pain on both of my feet, even after I removed one corn at the hospital. It keeps recurring and is very painful. It's on the part where much of the pressure is there while walking. I cannot run, and my walking looks like limping. I don't have any other health problems, but it is bothering me a lot.

Be careful to distinguish between a corn on your finger and a ganglion. I had what looked like a blister/corn on one of my toes and went to a podiatrist. Then I got one on my finger. It's a bulge of the fluid in the joint. Sometimes it is painful, but most of the time it is not. I have lanced the one on my finger and removed some of the fluid. It's better for a while but fills up again.

Thank you so much to the Lady who suggested toe socks for the corns between my toes. I have actually been able to spend a day on my feet without pain, it works! Patient CommentsViewers share their comments
