Toe pain can be a very annoying and debilitating condition. There are many causes of toe pain, if you suffer from this condition you should visit your podiatrist to have the condition properly treated. Some common causes of toe pain include corns. A corn is a form of callus, a protective layer of dead skin cells formed due to repeated friction. It is cone-shaped and has a knobby core that points inward. This core can put pressure on a nerve and cause sharp pain. They can develop on the top or between toes. If a corn develops between the toes, it is may be called a soft corn if it is kept pliable by the moisture from perspiration.
Corns develop as a result of friction from the toes rubbing together or against the shoe; they often occur from the following, shoes, socks, or stockings that fit too tightly around the toes, pressure on the toes from high-heeled shoes, shoes that are too loose can also cause corns due to the friction of the foot sliding within the shoe, deformed and crooked toes.
Sometimes these toe deformities are caused by abnormal biomechanical forces if this is the case your podiatrist may be able to help with the use of custom made orthotic devices. If you suffer from this condition it is well worth while to visit your podiatrist and have your feet assessed.
