What Causes Dark Circles On The Heel On Scrubbing The Corns?

I have corns on both feet, but I m realizing that the more I scrub them, over time they get dark circles around them, but the corn is very light. I am a dark skinned black woman fyi. I have a mallet toe and I m wearing larger shoes, but nothing is working.

Corns of the feet if producing pain and itch should be removed. You can consult your surgeon and he will help you to remove this. Meanwhile you should use soft inner sole footwears that will prevent future chances of getting corn.
Wash your feet with warm water and soup daily to prevent any infection to the corn. You can take Tab Cetrizine twice daily to reduce itching. Warm water fomentation will also help to reduce itch.
