Usually the early symptoms of corns are not obvious and consist only of localized thickening of the skin. This is followed by painful, yellowish or yellowish keratinous plugs with a kernel in the center.
Corns are a common skin disease, usually, the early clinical symptoms of corns are not obvious, mainly manifested in the affected area of the skin thickening, or flat with the skin surface, preferably in the middle of the front of the foot, the inside of the bunion, and sometimes can also involve the heel, the back of the toes and other places. However, with further development of the disease, corns will be obviously painful, especially when walking will be significantly aggravated.
At the same time, the thickened skin in the affected area will become soybean-sized, and a cone-shaped, hard core is also visible in the center. The formation of corns is mainly related to long-term friction, pressure and other mechanical stimulation of the foot skin, resulting in excessive proliferation of the stratum corneum. Common triggering factors include people standing for a long time and wearing tight or narrow shoes for a long time.
If the patient has the above symptoms, he/she needs to be highly suspected of corns and should go to the hospital to improve his/her living habits.
