👣 Case Spotlight: Fifth Toe Corn Debridement This patient presented with a large corn on the fifth toe, with signs of early breakdown and possible underlying irritation. After careful assessment, we: ✔️ Removed the callus cap ✔️ Debrided the central hard core ✔️ Identified mild tissue compromise beneath the lesion We take a conservative approach during debridement—removing enough to relieve pressure and discomfort while preserving healthy skin to avoid post-treatment tenderness. 💡 What caused it? Corns like this are often due to pressure and friction, commonly from tight or narrow footwear. In this case, a pointed toe sneaker was the main contributor. 👟 Prevention tips: • Choose shoes with a wide toe box • Avoid prolonged pressure on toes • Seek early treatment before corns worsen If you’re experiencing discomfort or noticing skin changes on your feet, early care makes a big difference. 🔗 Learn more or book an appointment: https://ergonx.com.au #PodiatryCare #FootHealth #CornRemoval #ergonx
