About this deal

Corns and calluses: the Compeed ® bandages maintain a moisturizing environment to soften the corn, relieving pain, and may eliminate the corn. Small corns generally require little to no treatment and usually go away by themselves if you avoid the pressure causing them. If your corn causes irritation or pain, there are several ways to relieve the pressure and treat the corn. When treated, corns usually take about two to four weeks to disappear. In all cases, taking care of your feet, washing and drying them well and moisturising them regularly helps. Firstly, it is best to look at the route cause of the problem first. Have you started wearing a new pair of shoes before the corn started? Recently started a new activity? Have you had a recent injury? If you aren’t sure why it has started forming; speak to a Podiatrist – we are very good detectives and can explore the reasons for the corn developing and discuss ways to prevent it in the future. This may be using a wedge, insole or changing footwear style or shape.

Use heel pads or soft insoles. If you have to stand or walk a lot due to your professional activities, this might help you to relieve the pressure on your feet. Filing – If it is causing irritation, gently filing it down with a pumice stone might help to relieve pressure. Be careful not to remove too much skin as this might cause bleeding and infection. Instead, remove only small amounts and repeat the action regularly until the corn disappears. The hydrocolloid plaster technology of Compeed ® plasters help protect and/or relieve your wound, corn or callus at all stages of development :

Step 2: File the callus with a pumice stone or foot file.– Once the callus is softened, you can file it with a pumice stone. Dip the pumice stone in water and then gently remove the dead skin by circular or sideways motions. You can also use a foot file as an exfoliating tool. Pay attention not to remove too much skin as this might cause bleeding and infection. Instead, remove only small amounts and repeat the action regularly until the callus disappears. They cause many problems I see in clinic and I don’t think ANY person regardless of age, medical conditions should use them What are Corn plasters? Unfortunately, the salicylic acid in Corn plasters cannot distinguish between healthy skin and corn and, as a such, can burn the skin quite severely spreading to surrounding healthy skin. The paste in corn plasters spreads to surrounding tissue blistering and burning the skin. The corn and the surrounding skin become white and soggy and more often than not the centre where the corn was remains with the skin beneath becoming fragile and breaking down under the weight of the corn. This leads to wounds, ulcers and infection. This is particularly important to avoid for people with diabetes and circulatory conditions as well as those who are immunocompromised but they can more often than not affect healthy young people too! Examples Corns and calluses: the Compeed ® plaster maintains an environment which removes the corn by moisturizing and softening it and helps relieve pain.

Cold sores: the Compeed ® discreet patch treats cold sores throughout all stages of development to facilitate healing and resolution. Depending on variations in the individual body’s defence mechanisms a cold sore outbreak sometimes can be more severe in comparison to how the outbreak usually appears in that individual. This can happen independently from the applied treatment. The area of the lesion may be bigger with more blisters developing and/or several foci may develop in different areas by degrees, often accompanied with increased pain. Even if you are wearing well-fitted and adapted footwear, repetitive actions, such as exercise or walking and standing at work might cause corns. Professions with a high risk of developing corns include postal workers, nurses and waiters/waitresses. Over-the-counter treatments include salicylic acid, which helps to dissolve the keratin structure that makes up the dead skin. Salicylic acid treatment is available in different concentrations and comes as a cream, pad, or plaster. Scraping – Trimming by scraping is generally only necessary for the removal of large painful corns. Scraping should be performed by a foot specialist. If you would like to trim your corn yourself you can file it.

Non-prescription treatments and remedies – These treatments and remedies are usually based on cushioning the corn, rather than removing the corn. Compeedsup>® Corn Plasters, for example, contain hydrocolloid technology, which provides pain relief by cushioning, protects your corn from further rubbing and at the same time moisturises the area around your corn, helping to remove it. Wear comfortable well-fitting shoes. The most common cause for corns on the foot are shoes that are the wrong size or shape. Wide, comfortable shoes with a low heel and soft sole that do not rub are ideal. Since your feet swell slightly during the day, try to shop for shoes in the evening, when your feet are the largest. Also, pay attention to any seams that might cause irritation. Blisters: at the first signs of irritation or blister formation, the Compeed ® blister plaster will help relieve the pain due to friction thanks to its cushioning effect. Corns are a cone shape of hard skin caused by pressure and friction which could be caused by ill fitting footwear, changes in foot structure which in turn can affect your gait (the way you walk) or bony deformities. They can be particularly painful and limit walking and footwear. But be aware

Here are some general tips on how best to prevent corns, without having to give up your favourite activities or your job: What to do: The podiatrist can also enuculate the corn. This means using a scalpel to remove the corn shape of hard skin (corn). The skin that forms a corn and callus is “dead” and thus has no feeling so this is a painless experience. Corn PADS Blisters: Compeed ® specialist plasters will help relieve the pain caused by the blister and help the skin heal.Please note, that if you have insensitive skin due to poor circulation, diabetes or nerve damage, you should consult a chiropodist before treatment. It’s highly recommended to ensure the skin is moisturised/softened before filing. You should soak the corn in warm water for about 10 minutes beforehand to soften the skin. Alternatively, you could file your corn after a warm bath. Blisters: to prevent blisters, if you wear new shoes, play sports, haven’t worn shoes in a while or stand all day long. Seek medical advice if you have any underlying foot problems, such as deformities of the feet or an abnormal gait. In these cases, your doctor might recommend special footwear or corrective inserts.
