Corns - Painful growths of toughened skin that develop on the top or side of the foot. They often take the shape of a kernel of corn.

Hammertoes - A hammertoe is a toe that is bent from weakened muscles that make the tendons shorter, causing the toes to curl. Often caused by shoes that are too short, hammertoes can cause walking problems leading to blisters, calluses and sores. Corrective footwear can help in treating them, though severe cases may require corrective surgery. Bunions - A bunion forms when your big toe angles toward the second toe. Often, the spot where your big joins the rest of the foot becomes red and callused. This area may also stick out and become hard. Bunions can form on both feet and are often caused by wearing high-heeled shoes with narrow toes. Felt or foam padding may help protect the bunion from irritation. Severe pain or deformity may lead to surgery to realign the toes. Blisters - Usually found on the heel of the foot, blisters are pockets of liquid under the skin caused by continual rubbing against improperly fitting shoes. If untreated, blisters can lead to serious complications for the diabetic patient. Ulcers - Poorly healing sores that are painful, slow to heal, cause the feet to swell and often lead to amputation.
