Corns in between your toes. Interdigital Corns: Causes, Symptoms, and Effective Treatments
What are interdigital corns and how do they differ from calluses. How can you prevent soft corns between toes. What are the risks of untreated corns between toes. Why should you avoid over-the-counter treatments for interdigital corns. When is surgery considered for corns between toes.
Understanding Interdigital Corns: A Common Foot Ailment
Interdigital corns, also known as soft corns or heloma molle, are a common foot condition that can cause significant discomfort and pain. These corns typically develop between the toes, most frequently between the fourth and fifth toes, due to friction and pressure in these areas. Unlike calluses, which are larger areas of thickened skin, corns have a hard, diamond-shaped core with a painful tip that can be quite bothersome under direct pressure.
Podiatrists often encounter patients who are unsure about the difference between corns and calluses. To clarify:
- Calluses are areas of thickened skin that develop as a protective barrier in response to friction and pressure.
- Corns are more localized and have a distinct core, often forming on top of calluses with continued friction.
Interdigital corns are unique in that they develop in the moist environment between the toes, leading to their softer texture compared to corns found on other parts of the foot.
Causes and Risk Factors for Developing Corns Between Toes
Several factors contribute to the formation of interdigital corns:
- Ill-fitting shoes that are too tight or too loose
- Repetitive friction between toes
- Excessive moisture in the interdigital spaces
- Foot deformities such as hammer toes or bunions
- Arthritic joints that alter foot mechanics
Do certain foot shapes increase the risk of developing interdigital corns? Indeed, individuals with closely spaced toes or those with foot deformities that cause toes to rub against each other are more prone to developing these painful lesions.
Recognizing the Symptoms of Interdigital Corns
Identifying interdigital corns early can help prevent complications and discomfort. Common symptoms include:
- A soft, spongy lesion between the toes
- Pain when pressure is applied to the affected area
- Discomfort when wearing shoes
- Redness or inflammation in the interdigital space
- A whitish, macerated appearance of the skin between toes
Can interdigital corns be mistaken for other foot conditions? Yes, they can sometimes be confused with plantar warts or fungal infections. A professional diagnosis from a podiatrist is crucial for proper treatment.
The Dangers of Untreated Interdigital Corns
Neglecting interdigital corns can lead to several complications:
- Secondary bacterial or fungal infections
- Damage to deeper tissues and potential ulceration
- Altered gait patterns that may cause knee or hip pain
- Reduced quality of life due to chronic foot pain
How quickly can complications develop from untreated interdigital corns? The timeline varies, but individuals with compromised circulation or diabetes are at higher risk for rapid progression of complications and should seek treatment promptly.
Professional Treatment Options for Interdigital Corns
Podiatrists offer several effective treatments for interdigital corns:
- Debridement: Careful removal of the thickened skin and corn core
- Custom orthotics: To redistribute pressure and reduce friction
- Silicone toe separators: Customized to prevent toe rubbing
- Padding techniques: To offload pressure from the affected area
- Footwear recommendations: Guidance on proper shoe fit and styles
What is the success rate of professional treatments for interdigital corns? With proper care and adherence to podiatrist recommendations, many patients experience significant relief and prevention of recurrence.
The Role of Podiatry in Managing Interdigital Corns
Podiatrists play a crucial role in the management of interdigital corns. They provide comprehensive assessments of foot structure and function, identify underlying causes, and develop personalized treatment plans. Regular podiatric check-ups can help prevent the development of corns and catch any issues early.
Home Remedies and Prevention Strategies
While professional treatment is recommended, there are steps you can take at home to manage and prevent interdigital corns:
- Keep the interdigital spaces dry
- Wear well-fitting shoes with adequate toe box space
- Use moisture-wicking socks to reduce sweating
- Rotate your shoes regularly to allow them to dry completely
- Apply non-medicated corn pads to reduce friction
Are there any natural remedies that can help with interdigital corns? Some people find relief by soaking their feet in warm water with Epsom salts, which can help soften the skin. However, this should not replace professional treatment.
The Importance of Proper Footwear
Choosing the right shoes is paramount in preventing and managing interdigital corns. Look for shoes that:
- Have a wide toe box to allow toes to spread naturally
- Provide adequate arch support
- Are made of breathable materials to reduce moisture
- Fit properly without slipping or pinching
How often should you replace your shoes to prevent interdigital corns? It’s generally recommended to replace shoes every 300-500 miles of use or every 6-8 months, whichever comes first.
The Risks of Over-the-Counter Treatments
While over-the-counter (OTC) treatments for corns may seem convenient, they can pose significant risks, especially for interdigital corns:
- Harsh chemicals like salicylic acid can damage healthy skin
- Increased risk of infection in the moist interdigital environment
- Potential for delayed healing, especially in individuals with diabetes
- Masking of underlying issues that require professional attention
Why are OTC treatments particularly dangerous for people with diabetes? Individuals with diabetes often have reduced sensation in their feet and may not feel pain from chemical burns or skin damage, leading to serious complications.
Safe Alternatives to OTC Treatments
Instead of resorting to potentially harmful OTC treatments, consider these safer alternatives:
- Gentle exfoliation with a pumice stone after bathing
- Use of non-medicated moleskin pads to reduce friction
- Application of emollient creams to keep skin soft (avoid between toes)
- Regular foot inspections to monitor for changes or worsening
When Surgery Becomes Necessary for Interdigital Corns
In most cases, interdigital corns can be managed conservatively. However, surgery may be considered in certain situations:
- Persistent corns that do not respond to conservative treatment
- Underlying bone deformities contributing to corn formation
- Severe pain impacting daily activities and quality of life
- Recurrent infections or ulcerations at the corn site
What types of surgical procedures are used for interdigital corns? Surgical options may include arthroplasty to reshape joints, osteotomy to realign bones, or in severe cases, toe fusion to prevent movement and friction.
The Surgical Process and Recovery
If surgery is deemed necessary, patients can expect the following:
- Pre-operative assessment and planning
- Outpatient procedure in most cases
- Local anesthesia or sedation
- Short recovery period, typically a few weeks
- Physical therapy to regain strength and mobility
How long does it take to fully recover from interdigital corn surgery? Recovery times vary, but most patients can return to normal activities within 4-6 weeks, with full healing taking up to 3 months.
Long-Term Management and Prognosis
After treatment for interdigital corns, long-term management is key to preventing recurrence:
- Regular podiatric check-ups
- Consistent use of prescribed orthotics or toe separators
- Ongoing attention to proper footwear
- Maintenance of good foot hygiene
- Prompt attention to any signs of corn recurrence
Can interdigital corns be permanently cured? While complete prevention is challenging, with proper care and management, many individuals can avoid recurrence or significantly reduce the frequency and severity of interdigital corns.
The Impact of Lifestyle on Interdigital Corn Management
Lifestyle factors play a significant role in the management of interdigital corns:
- Maintaining a healthy weight to reduce pressure on feet
- Staying active to promote good circulation
- Avoiding prolonged periods of standing or walking in ill-fitting shoes
- Managing underlying conditions like diabetes that affect foot health
How does weight affect the development of interdigital corns? Excess weight increases pressure on the feet, potentially exacerbating friction between toes and contributing to corn formation.
Emerging Treatments and Research in Corn Management
The field of podiatry continues to evolve, with new treatments and research focusing on interdigital corn management:
- Advanced biomechanical analysis to predict and prevent corn formation
- Development of new materials for orthotics and toe separators
- Exploration of regenerative medicine techniques for skin repair
- Research into genetic factors that may predispose individuals to corns
What are some promising new treatments on the horizon for interdigital corns? Researchers are investigating the use of growth factors and stem cell therapies to promote healthier skin growth and prevent corn formation, though these treatments are still in the experimental stages.
The Role of Technology in Corn Prevention
Technology is playing an increasingly important role in preventing and managing interdigital corns:
- 3D-printed custom orthotics for precise fit and support
- Smart insoles that monitor pressure points and gait
- Telemedicine consultations for ongoing foot care
- Mobile apps for tracking foot health and symptoms
How effective are smart insoles in preventing interdigital corns? While research is ongoing, early studies suggest that smart insoles can help identify problem areas before corns develop, allowing for proactive intervention.
Special Considerations for Athletes and Active Individuals
Athletes and highly active individuals may be at increased risk for interdigital corns due to repetitive foot motions and intense pressure. Special considerations for this group include:
- Sport-specific shoe fitting and recommendations
- Custom orthotics designed for athletic performance
- Regular foot care routines to prevent corn formation
- Education on proper foot hygiene during and after activities
- Strategies for managing foot moisture in athletic settings
How can athletes balance performance needs with foot health when it comes to shoe selection? Working with a sports podiatrist can help athletes find the right balance between shoes that enhance performance and those that protect foot health, often through custom modifications or specialized inserts.
Preventing Interdigital Corns in High-Impact Sports
High-impact sports pose unique challenges for interdigital corn prevention. Athletes can take the following steps:
- Use sport-specific moisture-wicking socks
- Apply protective taping or padding before activities
- Gradually break in new shoes to prevent blisters and corns
- Perform regular foot strength and flexibility exercises
What are the most effective taping techniques for preventing interdigital corns in athletes? Podiatrists often recommend specific taping methods that separate toes and reduce friction, tailored to the individual’s foot structure and sport requirements.
The Psychological Impact of Chronic Foot Pain
Chronic foot pain from interdigital corns can have significant psychological effects:
- Reduced quality of life and social interactions
- Increased stress and anxiety about foot health
- Potential depression due to limited mobility
- Frustration with ongoing treatment needs
How can patients cope with the emotional aspects of dealing with chronic interdigital corns? Support groups, counseling, and mindfulness techniques can be helpful in managing the psychological impact of chronic foot conditions.
Holistic Approaches to Foot Health
A holistic approach to foot health can complement traditional treatments for interdigital corns:
- Nutritional support for healthy skin and nail growth
- Stress reduction techniques to improve overall well-being
- Gentle yoga or stretching routines for foot flexibility
- Reflexology or foot massage to improve circulation
Can dietary changes impact the development of interdigital corns? While diet alone cannot prevent corns, a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals supports overall skin health, which may contribute to resilience against corn formation.
Educating the Public on Foot Health and Corn Prevention
Public education plays a crucial role in preventing and managing interdigital corns. Key areas of focus include:
- Proper foot hygiene and care techniques
- The importance of regular podiatric check-ups
- How to choose appropriate footwear for different activities
- Early recognition of foot problems and when to seek help
- Dispelling myths about corn treatment and prevention
What are some common misconceptions about interdigital corns that need to be addressed? Many people believe that cutting out corns is an effective treatment, but this can lead to infection and should be avoided. Education on safe, professional treatments is essential.
The Role of Schools in Promoting Foot Health
Schools can play a significant role in promoting foot health and preventing conditions like interdigital corns:
- Including foot health in physical education curricula
- Providing guidance on proper athletic footwear for school sports
- Educating parents on the importance of correctly fitting shoes for growing children
- Encouraging regular foot checks as part of overall health monitoring
How can schools effectively incorporate foot health education into their programs? Collaborating with local podiatrists for guest lectures, creating informative posters, and including foot health tips in school newsletters can help raise awareness among students and parents.
How To Get Rid Of A Corn Between Toes
Corns come in all shapes and sizes and can be found setting up shop in a variety of weird (but not wonderful) places! And a corn between toes is hardly wonderful.
Let’s get rid of your painful corn.
Book in with our podiatry team today.
A question I get asked on the daily as a podiatrist is “what’s the difference between hard skin (callus) and corns?“
To keep it brief, callus develops in areas where there is friction and excess pressures.
Calluses are your body’s way of building up a barrier of protective skin. Unfortunately our body does not know that the callus may contribute to pain in itself!
Common places you’ll find that thickened skin (calluses) are around the ball of the foot, toe tips and toe tops.
First comes the callus, then comes the corns!
With repeated friction, the layers of callus build up in that particular area and eventually escalate into forming a very hard diamond-shaped core. This is a corn. The central core has a tip that is very painful under direct pressure. There are different types of corns depending on where they occur as well as their appearance and characteristics.
For more corn talk, check out this piece by our very own Jasmine Jones: The Difference Between Foot Corns and Foot Calluses. And be warned, corns are very different beasts to treat compared to plantar warts although they do look very similar.
Holy moly, what’s that between my toes?!
What is that nasty pain between my toes?
Heloma molle (pronounced moly, rhymes with holy), a.k.a. a ‘soft corn’, usually causes the most problems between the 4th and 5th toes but can pop up between other toes too.
Above, I mentioned how corns appear in areas of high repetitive friction and pressure.
A corn between toes is no different.
Due to the shape of our toes and their close proximity to one another, the closed-in space in between them can develop more moisture and be quite a sweaty area.
Also the area is often neglected during a post-shower towel off, causing a spongy texture.
What happens when you add friction and pressure to all this? Voilà, a soft interdigital corn can appear, oh dear!
Example of what leads to a corn between toes
Role play this one with me.
Let’s say you’re wearing your favourite pair of shoes to work all week, or you’re trying to fit into that runner that feels a ‘smidge’ too tight. In them your toes are squashed, it’s a little bit warm that day and you unexpectedly have to park and walk further than planned…
Think rubbing, sweat, bony pressures… times that by a few too many times… and BAM💥, a corn! Ouch!
The shape of your toes and joints can also play a part.
Hammer toes, arthritic joints, trauma, anything that contributes to your two toes ‘kissing’ or rubbing together can develop that protective callus. The dreaded potential domino effect comes into play next, painful corns! Ouch!
Why is a corn between toes such an issue?
Firstly, they are downright painful!
But also:
- If left untreated you may develop a secondary bacteria or fungal infection.
- Untreated corns lead to damage of the deeper tissues and ulceration.
- You can develop compensating habits to avoid the pain while walking, causing secondary issues. Think knee or hip pain.
- The world can see the pain on your face, and if the wind changes… holy
mollemoly!
Some more questions we get on corns between toes
Can’t I just use over-the-counter medications to treat my interdigital corns?
A straight out answer to this is N.O. That’s N for ‘never’ and O for ‘or else’!
Over-the-counter medications can contain harsh non-selective damaging chemicals, typically salicylic acid.
This acid can all-too-easily injure the good skin surrounding the corn. Even corn plasters contain these strong acids so please be safe and see your podiatrist instead of taking the risk of corns ulcerating from these chemicals.
If you have diabetes or other underlying pathology, healing can be delayed and sensation may be altered, this can cause more problematic consequences.
If you’re really set on trying some home remedies:
- Avoid cream between toes as it increases moisture levels
- Make sure your shoes fit – too wide causes movement and rubbing, too narrow increases pressure!
- Avoid wearing the same shoes day after day, mix it up a little!
- Try implementing toe separators. These reduce friction between the toes, but the pressure needs to go somewhere. Be careful. Us podiatrists can make custom silicone toe separators for individual cases with a comprehensive look at your foot as a whole.
Is surgery ever needed for corns between toes?
Most corns are managed in clinic with your podiatrist and their expert advice.
Surgery is generally a last resort option used primarily when a structural deformity of the toes or foot is resulting in the repeated development of a corn and cannot be managed actively.
After interdigital corns have been treated, can they come back?
Like most things in life, it’s a great relief to fix a symptom, but if the cause isn’t addressed, the symptom certainly will return.
That means getting rid of that friction and irritation against the skin, whether that be with footwear, separators, skin care, socks, and/or regular podiatrist care.
When should someone seek professional treatment for a corn between toes?
Start your treatment now. As mentioned earlier on, long term untreated corns between the toes can get infected, lead to ulceration, and be a very big pain for their very small size that you are not going to want to put up with!
As podiatrists, we can help relieve the pain with sharp debridement using a scalpel and then a special drill to smooth off the area leaving a nice smooth finish. This is generally a painless treatment. We’re careful, precise and well practised.
Custom silicon separators and other offloading devices can aid in relieving the pressures between the two cheeky toes. And of course it wouldn’t be good advice if it didn’t include footwear advice! Believe it or not a change in shoe to suit YOUR foot can make ALL the difference. I’m not kidding, I’m not exaggerating, I’m actually trying to be confrontingly serious.
Find the right shoe for you. We’ll help you.
Holy moly, let us help you get that painful look off your face!

Speed Round! Quick questions about corns on toes.
We love helping fix your painful corn between toes but we know you’ve got more questions than time. Let me rattle off the quick answers.
How to get rid of a corn between my toes?
See your podiatrist! You can soften the dead skin around a corn with warm water but please don’t go attacking all those layers of skin on your own. The risk of infection or even ulceration if you have poor circulation is just not worth it.
What is the best way to remove a corn from your foot?
The best treatment for corns is prevention. For this you can see your podiatrist. We’ll remove the corn, any dead skin, and address any foot deformity that is causing the corn in the first place. As a added bonus if you have any other foot problems like fungal infections we can get onto those at the same time!
What can I do with this corn that has formed under my big toe nail?
It’s very rare to find a corn forming under a toenail. Usually there is not enough shear to develop a corn there, just direct pressure. There’s not any safe over the counter products to treat a corn under a toe, corn pads are definitely not safe to use. Even when you have soft skin around a corn you should see a podiatrist however when there is hard nail over the top this is definitely needed.
Can you have a corn on one side and not another?
As a corn is a common foot problem which develops when there is friction and pressure on your skin they are very often only on one side. Think of the difference between your two feet. Is one foot a little bigger than the other? Do you wear the same sized tight shoes on both? Do you have a bigger bony prominence on your right than your left? Any answer in the affirmative here is why it’s so common to have a corn on only one side.
Can I cut off a corn without cutting into the skin or will it bleed too much?
It’s risky to attempt cutting a corn out on your own. As a corn is made of of dead tissue that sits inside healthy living tissue you’d need to precisely scoop out (enucleate) the offending lesion. For that you’d want to have precision sterile equipment and a trained steady hand. The hand of a podiatrist.
I got a corn on my right big toe. What should I do?
Stop, breath. It’s going to be ok. First book in online or pick up the phone and call us podiatrists for that appointment. Then, we can do some things to make it as comfortable as possible until your podiatrist can remove the corn. Start with a soapy water bath to wash your feet and make your skin soft. Next, you can take a nail file and gently file back the overlying seed corns or hard skin. Be careful not to damage any fragile skin or the underlying healthy skin.
Next, wear your most comfortable shoes as you must avoid any ill-fitting shoe options until that corn is gone. Please avoid using a corn pad as they can damage the normal skin under and around the corn. They can also leave you with inflamed skin which is challenging to then enucleate a corn from.

What are they?
Soft corns are one of the most painful foot conditions. Soft corns are painful lesions or skin buildups that occur between the toes. Most frequently, they are located between the fourth and fifth (small) toes but can also involve the other digits of the foot. As opposed to the traditional hard corn that occurs on the top of a toe, these so-called soft lesions prefer the areas between the digits where there is moisture and warmth. These lesions are usually quite painful because of persistent friction and are worsened by shoe pressure. The shape and narrowed forefoot confinement of the typical woman’s dress or business shoe, along with a raised heel, creates a ripe environment for these soft corns to occur. Once these soft corns take residence on a foot, it doesn’t take long before the patient needs some help.
What causes them?
In many of the cases involving a painful soft corn, the underlying culprit seems to be a calcium deposit or small spur of bone lying just beneath the lesion itself. Sometimes there are spurs on adjacent toes making the condition worse. A patient can frequently feel this bony prominence by gently palpating the lesion and feeling a hardened protrusion or bump on the hone itself. As the soft corn becomes further aggravated and in the absence of professional care, it may become infected. A soft corn that is surrounded by skin discoloration is painful to touch, has localized heat or warmth, and is having a pus or bloody discharge is suggestive of an infection and should be seen immediately by a foot specialist.
How do you treat them?
The early treatment of a painful soft corn should include a careful monitoring and selection of shoes in order to relieve the persistent pressure. Some sort of pad or cotton ball between the involved toes also helps to relieve the localized pressure and reduces the discomfort. It infact, separates the spurs from rubbing into each other. In some instances, a local injection of a steroid or anti-inflammatory medication can be beneficial in not only reducing the discomfort but also in shrinking the lesion size itself. In those cases where the soft corn seems resistant to other measures of care or is so annoying that the patient strongly desires a corrective course of action, surgery is a viable treatment option.
