what causes corns on the toes, why do they grow back when you file or cut them down or cut them off?

Answer 1

Your shoes don't fit right. If you're already wearing sensible shoes, then try wearing the corn pad all the time so it won't come back. I know, they hurt like a bugger!

Answer 2

Corns are caused by a number of things such as poor fitting shoes or sometimes a physical condition, like a foot deformity.

Basically a corn is a callus that is formed when something, like your shoe, rubs against your foot. It grows back because you haven't stopped whatever is putting the pressure against the foot. A callus returns to protect the foot.

If you cut it yourself, you risk infection.

See a doctor if you can. Until then, immediately find out what is causing the pressure on your foot! Change your shoe (or shoe style b/c high heels can cause corns) or even your sock if it rubs.
