Is this really just a corn? Our trusted board certified podiatrist, Dr. Sekosky says “This is trouble”.
“Anytime we see a cool, dry, red, hairless foot we immediately think be careful”. This is usually a foot with vascular disease that is at risk for limb complications and should only be cared for by a podiatrist. Even more so if the patient also has numbness or tingling or peripheral neuropathy.
Dr. Sekosky also points out that the thickened skin on the small toe is a pressure point and may have an early underlying ulcer with infection. When corns and calluses are neglected they may become so thick that they form ulcers underneath and may predispose the patient to bone infection and amputation.
Lastly, as part of a treatment plan this individual needs education and fitting for appropriate shoes to prevent the pain in the small toe before it starts.
Our doctors believe in more than treatment
they believe in compassion, education and prevention.
