Foot care — corns, blisters and fungus
Prepared by the LekCheck team · Last reviewed: 2026-07-25 · How we create our content
The feet take a lot of load, and corns, calluses, shoe blisters or fungus between the toes are common. Most mild cases respond to appropriate care and over-the-counter remedies. Below we describe the commonly used ingredients and approaches; choose an ingredient to see available products and prices. With diabetes or circulation problems, foot care needs special attention and medical judgement.

Corns and calluses
Corns and calluses are thickened skin from friction or pressure. Comfortable shoes, softening by soaking and light filing, and protective pads all help. There are also products with salicylic acid for softening. Do not cut corns yourself with sharp objects, especially with diabetes — you risk injury and infection.
Shoe blisters
Blisters appear from friction, often with new or uncomfortable shoes. A small unbroken blister is best protected with a plaster/hydrocolloid pad and left to heal. Do not pop blisters unnecessarily. Choose suitable shoes and socks that reduce friction.
Fungus between the toes (athlete's foot)
Foot fungus causes itching, redness, flaking and cracking, often between the toes. Topical antifungals (e.g. clotrimazole, terbinafine) are used according to the leaflet, continuing treatment for the recommended period even after improvement. Keep the feet dry and change socks regularly.
When to see a doctor
See a doctor for signs of infection (marked redness, warmth, pus, pain), non-healing wounds, spreading fungus or nail involvement, and always with diabetes, neuropathy or circulation problems. With these conditions, even a small foot problem needs attention.

Frequently asked questions
How do I remove a corn safely?
Soaking to soften, light filing and protective pads help; there are also products with salicylic acid for softening. Do not cut corns with sharp objects yourself, especially with diabetes. For persistent or painful corns, see a specialist (e.g. a podiatrist).
Should I pop a blister?
As a rule, no. A small unbroken blister is better protected with a plaster or hydrocolloid pad and left to heal on its own, since its skin protects against infection. If a blister bursts on its own, clean gently and cover. At signs of infection, see a doctor.
How do I treat foot fungus?
Topical antifungals (e.g. clotrimazole, terbinafine) usually help with athlete's foot if used according to the leaflet and for long enough. Keep the feet dry, change socks and do not walk barefoot in damp shared places. With nail involvement or no improvement, see a doctor.
Why does fungus come back?
Fungus comes back often because of moisture, treatment that was too short, or re-infection (e.g. from shoes, shared baths). Finish the recommended course even after improvement, keep the feet dry and consider treating the shoes. For frequent recurrences, consult a doctor.
Why is foot care important with diabetes?
With diabetes, reduced sensation and slower healing make even small wounds and corns risky for complications. So daily inspection, careful care without cutting with sharp objects, and timely medical advice for any change or wound on the foot are important.
