A runner gets rid of a corn… and photoblogs the metamorphosis

Disclaimer: the pictures below are NOT for the squeamish.

After 2nd 24-hour usage of the Scholl corn cap

Believe me when I say “it does NOT hurt”

Almost done…

Fresh pink skin whitened by salicylic acid

In the end, everything has to die…

Other side of the dead skin strip

White blotch on right huarache? 30km of foot pounding with corn cap!

After I cleaned things a bit perhaps with enthusiasm

Not my ear! Corn cap remnants after 30km pounding.

View from the other side. Thanks Dr Scholl.

What a Scholl corn cap looks like “freshly worn”

Great design. Stick medicated circle first, follow-up with SUV-style cushion.

Remaining corn (right side) also showing signs of decimation

Thin strip stubbornly hanging on. Do we need another cap?

I guess we DID need another cap.

So many shades…

Corn cap after ‘regular’ usage – i.e. no running for 3+ years.

The Middle Kingdom falling apart…

Rudimentary jigsaw puzzle

Operation Desert Storm nearing Baghdad

A few days later.. last strip came apart during a weekend trip to the mall with the family. Nobody saw me taking this pic.

Bye bye..

We’re all good now.. barring a few furrows and unrelated blisters.
