How to treat a corn on foot?

[ang79]

My 9 yr. old Dd has what we think is a seed corn on her heel. We’ve been using little donut shaped foam cushions to help try to relieve the pressure on it but they don’t seem to be helping. What else should I try?

Are you sure it's not a wart? Plantar warts often form on the heel. I thought corns were found on toes.

^^This. Plantar's warts are contagious, so you'll want to take extra precautions if she shares a shower/tub with other people.

Consider a trip to the dermatologist. They will give correct diagnosis and treatment. Salacylic acid patches would probably work best.
