Hi all Im new.
Ok here is what i did. about a year ago i noticed that somethin with my toes wasnt quite right. my big toe and the toe next to that on both feet had a lot of course visible padding and one had a big pink thing on it, like a large raised pink bump. i beleive it was from a pair of doctor martins i used to always wear that rubbed my toes so i figured it was them and stopped wearing them. Now i never paid attention to my feet before, but i cant beleive they got so bad and it took me so long to notice.
Anyway, i beleive i went about curing the problem the wrong way! I started using dr schol's corn remover to disovle the extra skin and then would use toenail clippers to remove skin. Now, i still have a little bit of the raised hard skin left although a lot is gone, but i have scars, red and brown on my toes!! I a currently using mederma to try to fade the scars, but i do still have a little bit of this padded skin left. Is ther any way to remove it in a less invasive way?

you probably need to see a foot Dr there are creams they can give you but do yourself a favor and see a foot Dr why take the risk of making them worse you only get one pair of feet in a lifetime, trust me I know I have neuropathy and just the chance to feel my feet again would be a godsend,
