Is this a corn? Appeared a few days ago quite painful and rock hard

I'd probably ask at the pharmacy, wear flip flops (don't wear tights lol 😆)

Sorry I didn't mean to sound like I was joking at your sore toe - it can't be very nice 🥺

It looks like a corn from here. I’d book in with your GP, go to a pharmacist or find a podiatrist in your local area.

Wish I could I work in a school so I'm having to dress smartly 😫it's so sore, I ignored it assuming I had a blister but tonight I poked it because I'm stupid and it is rock hard and prominent and painful! In between big toe and neighbour

It could be a bunion. 🤷🏽‍♀️

sorry to hear it’s so painful. Honestly, I think your best bet is to get it checked over by a health professional, they’ll then be able to recommend the required treatment.

Podiatrist for you asap! Ask Mr Google for someone local.
You could try a corn plaster on it. That or an ordinary plaster might help take the pressure off.
Ask local pharmacy for advice until you can see a proper podiatrist/chiropodist.,

Dammit, my partner said it's a corn and I said no way it is. I won't tell him he's likely right, i need to keep my record Grin
Thanks for the advice

I have one, I just put corn plasters on until it heals.
Trouble is, it comes back!
I never even considered going to the GP for it, should I?
