Effective corn treatment by COMPEED®
What is a Corn?
A corn is localised thickening of the skin caused by repeated pressure or friction in one area, often on the foot. The body over produces skin cells in order to try and protect itself from the pressure and this forms a layer of hard, dead skin.
Continued pressure forces the dead skin cells into a corn shape and moves it into the deeper layers of skin. It becomes painful when the point of the cone reaches the nerve endings.
