Corns and callus are caused by too much pressure, usually in combination with some friction. Too much pressure can be from footwear that is too tight which is the case here, toe deformities like hammer toe, bony prominence or an abnormal gait.
As corns and callus are symptoms of underlying problems, self treatment such as corn paint, cure or plasters, or corn pads will generally only treat the symptom of the corn and not the problem that causes it.
Self treatment or management of corns and callus should include; following the advice of a podiatrist, make sure your footwear fits properly, and proper foot hygeniene which includes using emollients to keep the skin in good condition.
