We suggest that you place an adhesive backed corn pad directly over a lesion that you will want accommodated on an orthosis. The prominence of the corn pad will be transferred to the negative impression that you obtain if you massage the material well during casting. Neither lipstick nor indelible ink will transfer from the skin to the cast.
