Between the toes where shadows meet,
Heloma Molle claims its seat.
Indeed, it thrives where moisture clings,
As tight shoes press and friction stings.

First and foremost, its texture’s soft,
Not like hard corns, firm and aloft.
Although tender, it hides its core,
A central ache you can’t ignore.

Furthermore, its hue, a ghostly gray,
Softened, macerated, seems to stay.
And yet, with care, relief is near,
If steps are taken, free from fear.

To begin, let shoes fit wide, not tight,
Avoid the pinch, embrace the right.
Moreover, dryness is your friend,
For moisture fosters this to no end.

Next, foam and pads can help align,
Keeping toes in a safer design.
Likewise, a podiatrist’s skillful trim,
Can make the odds less harsh and grim.

In addition, orthotics bring aid,
Balancing weight where stress is laid.
Finally, when all else does fail,
Surgery ensures a smoother trail.

However, neglect invites infection’s sting,
A risk for those with frail heart’s string.
Thus, treat it well, this subtle pain,
So health and comfort you’ll regain.

In conclusion, the lesson is clear:
Care for your feet, keep them near.
For between those toes, small battles fought,
With proper care, the pain is not.
