1. What is a corn and how do I get it?
If the skin is exposed to permanent pressure and friction e.g. from ill-fitting shoes, it reacts by building up this outer layer, thus forming calloused skin. If the pressure persists, the calloused skin can form a corn with a hard core that reaches the deeper, sensitive skin structures and thus causes pain.
2. What can I do to prevent corns?
3. When and how do I use a Hansaplast Pressure Protection Ring?
Thoroughly clean and dry the affected area. Press the felt ring onto the skin so that the pressure-sensitive area lies in the middle of the ring. Now when wearing shoes they will not come into contact with this sensitive area any more as the felt material offers an ideal protection from painful pressure.
