Pain relievers, pads and custom-made cushioned shoe inserts, or surgery, may help bunion pain, and wearing roomy shoes and avoiding high heels can also be effective in easing bunion pain. Friction or repeated rubbing causes corns and calluses - thick, hardened dead skin - on the feet and toes.
Some flat foot surgery depends on the degree of deformity based on medical findings and factors like patient's age, activity level and others.
