When a corn develops between the toes, it is called a soft corn. The bones in two neighboring toes rub against one another. A corn forms as a result of the pressure on the skin. The corn is a lump of hard, dead skin between the toes. The pressure creates pain between the toes. Additionally, the tissue beneath the corn may become irritated or infected.
Because of the maceration that happens between the toes as a result of perspiration and moisture, this corn is known as soft corn. Similarly, these corns are more prone to infection, due to the abundance of germs between the toes. For this reason, and to make sure the pain goes away quickly, contact Dr. Ejodamen Shobowale of DeNiel Foot and Ankle Center.
