Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Soft Corns

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Just wondered if anyone has a tip for dealing with a soft corn on the inside of a little toe?
Had a macerated fungal infection which is now healed, but a pad of soft tissue remains.
Only remedy I've found is to gently abrade away with pumice stone, leaving time for skin to heal.

Sounds like a reasonable treatment to me. Put some foam padding or chiropodists felt between the toes afterwards to stop friction. Don't use corn plasters beween the toes as it can encourage more infection.

@colinstone, I use both types of corn plaster, you can get non salicylic acid ones that are just a padded ring to stop rubbing. Found them very effective

Don't use sal acid ones on the soft corn though, just the plain padded rings.

@Hells Bells, are they too abrasive? I don’t like using them at night - once I’ve stopped moving about and I’ve no distractions I find them rather sore

@moseyp, plain padded ones are fine on soft corns but, especially between the toes, the salicylic acid ones may cause too much damage to the skin and there's then a risk of further infection.

Many thanks. I don't think pressure is an issue as I have lots of room in the toe box of my current ski boots. I think the problem started in my alpine performance fit boots, which are a little tight. I was hoping to get rid of the skin pad with the pumice. Would salicylic acid kill the skin layers so I can then abrade away over time?
