Hammer toe is a common deformity that affects the toes, causing the last segment of the toe to be permanently bent downward. This condition causes painful calluses from pressure from shoes or the ground. To address this painful condition, you can use gel protectors that help the toe stay in its anatomical position, providing relief from pressure and preventing the worsening of your condition. It is also important to choose comfortable footwear and avoid high heels over 8 centimeters. In any case, it is advisable to consult your doctor.
