What to do if your child has corns on his feet

I don’t know if you have seen some patients in life who may have corns on their feet. Most of these patients are children. Because when children are young, their body resistance is relatively poor, and their shoes do not fit their feet. If they walk too much, they will easily grow calluses on their feet, which will gradually develop into corns, which will make children feel particularly painful. Corns are a kind of skin disease. So what should children do if they have corns on their feet?

1 What to do if children have corns on their feet: Salicylic acid phenol plaster

Salicylic acid phenol patch is also known as corn plaster. Salicylic acid has antifungal, antipruritic and keratin-dissolving effects; phenol is a disinfectant and preservative with bactericidal and antipruritic effects. Soak the affected area in hot water for 10 minutes before use, wipe dry, tear off the cover film and apply to the affected area. After 24 hours, if the affected area softens and turns white, and feels slightly painful, change the dressing once (it is advisable to remove the white softened layer first). If the above phenomenon is not found, the application time can be extended until all the corns fall off.

How to prevent corns on children's feet

1. Choose suitable and loose shoes to avoid foot deformities.

2. When you feel that a part of your foot is squeezed and rubbed, you should promptly use podiatric braces such as corn pads, toe straighteners, toe separators, toe caps, etc. to reduce friction and squeezing.

3. When corns and calluses form on the soles of the feet, you can wear specific or non-specific orthopedic insoles to change the force on the soles of the feet to reduce friction.

4. Avoid using unclean knives and scissors to prevent infection. Do not remove corns or calluses by yourself. Diabetic patients, in particular, should avoid treating calluses or corns by themselves to avoid worsening of the condition.

5. Soak your feet frequently: Develop the habit of soaking your feet in hot water every night to soften corns and calluses. Wash your feet regularly.
