Many patients come to see me at NWSC, not for bunion pain but rather 2nd toe pain. It is either crossing over or under their big toe, and they often have a corn between their big toe and second toe, sometimes in both toes! This is called a Heloma molle, or soft, interdigital corn. Most people use toe spacers and moisturizers. However, it keeps coming back because the bones are rubbing against each other, and the friction leads to excess skin as the body tries to increase the skin barrier to protect itself. However, if the irritation doesn’t go away, the skin keeps getting thicker and eventually dries out, and your toes are left between a rock (bone) and a hard place (corn). Well – with this medium bunion correction. Requiring a bandage for only two weeks, no pins or screws, the patient was able to not only get narrower feet but also permanently correct her toes so the corn is gone for good and doesn’t come back? This is a mere 6 weeks after the procedure, and she hasn’t missed a beat!
