Medicated Corn Removers Can Burn Skin To The Bone

Over the counter medicated corn removers are risky to use and I never recommend them to my patients.

Love your channel. I’m young but I’ve been disabled for ten years. The shortcuts I’ve seen people have to take because our healthcare system is so poor is infuriating to me. Having a doctor out here helping folks who may not have the financial resources or health insurance at all is refreshing. Good on you.

Dr. Dave although I appreciate your advice, have given a thumbs up, and agree we need to get much better at treating causes, people like me are forced to seek out over the counter solutions to treat corns and calluses because we simply can't afford to see a podiatrist. So if you have any advice other than "don't use the pads and see your podiatrist" i.e. what is safe to bring relief while we save up for a podiatrist appointment and new shoes, that would be very welcome. We want to follow your advice and do the right thing but many of us have to save up for weeks or months to get things taken care of in the health care system. Sadly it's a case of the haves and have nots.

Some of us don’t have access to a podiatrist due to lack of insurance but thank you for the warning about the product.

The 40% SA helped my mom in regards to her porokeratosis. She felt like she was walking on gravel before then. I agree though you have to be careful and only target the effected area

He just saying this so you can come to them and spend way to much money if it was that bad they wouldn't be able to sell it just use your brain

[Ignore_me.]

the patch is about $4 for 6 patches but going to a professional will cost you a lot more

How to help discoloration from corn pads?

[justinkase]

I have a circulatory issue in my leg and developed corns directly across from one another on the SIDE of TWO toes. I have the pads on 24 hours at this point and I'm going to take your advice and remove them. I do wonder what caused me to suddenly start developing these corns. It was after both a nerve and circulation problem developed in that leg.

How long do you have to wear them to actually get to the bone, wouldn’t you know before you got to the bone

[fatedluck]

I have one on the underside on my big toe and i got this becauee i have no other way of getting it off and it honestly is very painful but i heard that its cost me around 300 bucks to get it professionally done and I cant

[denardanderson]

So if it's for plantars warts is it a good
choice to use

[DNR]

So I didn't know this and I just found a bloody decent sized hole in my toe and can see inside it.

So what do we do when it burns the skin??
