Interdigital Corns in the Dancer

Corns and blisters between the toes of a dancer can be very painful. The cause is multifactorial:  moisture, friction and structure of the toes. Pain occurs when dancing but usually worse in demi-pointe. The most common location is between the 4^th and 5^th toes. Dancers will mistakably treat the toe lesions with either medication containing an acid or try to pop the blister with a needle.  Both treatments can result in worsening of the problem and possibly an infection.
