‘Sanding horn stone’

Treat a Horn

Sunday, May 30th, 2010

Here’s what to do to treat a horn:

  • Wear shoes immediately wider and more flexible
  • Cushioning and balance the pressure with rings, bandages, foam supports arch and metatarsal bars. These devices must be calibrated by an orthopedist
  • Sanding horn stone in the bath
  • Treating lesions using salicylic acid to 17%, or collodion salicylic acid plasters to 40%. This is the work of the podiatrist. Beware of self-medication, often ineffective.
