What to do if your corns keep bleeding

When corns keep bleeding, firstly, pressure should be applied to stop the bleeding. Sterile gauze or cotton swabs can be used and pressed on the wound. This can be followed by applying topical fusidic acid cream and compound polymyxin B ointment to prevent infection. He-Ne laser irradiation can also be applied to promote skin repair. The constant bleeding of corns usually indicates that the skin breakage has exceeded the corns bursa and reached deep into the dermis, and the constant bleeding will stimulate the peripheral nerves in the dermal papillary layer area, causing pain when standing, walking or sitting. It is recommended to actively seek medical attention to try to remove the corns tissue and promote rapid skin healing. This can be treated surgically, where the corns can be peeled away until normal skin appears. In addition, liquid nitrogen freezing and laser are also available for treatment. Corns are not very serious diseases and can be cured, but their development can directly affect the patient’s quality of life, and they are prone to recurrence if they do not pay attention to daily care after treatment. Patients need to wear soft and loose shoes to help the foot relax, avoid prolonged standing and walking, and avoid squeezing and friction on the skin of the foot. If there is a foot deformity, it should be corrected in time.
