A foot corn is a small, thickened area of skin that develops due to repeated pressure or friction, usually from tight footwear or abnormal walking patterns. Corns can become painful over time and may interfere with daily activities if not treated properly.
You should consult a doctor if:
Early treatment helps prevent infection and provides lasting relief.
Initial treatment may include medications and protective measures. However, persistent or painful corns may require minor surgical removal.
The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia. The corn is carefully removed, providing immediate relief from pain and pressure. It is a quick and minimally invasive procedure.
Recovery is fast, and most patients can walk comfortably soon after the procedure. Wearing comfortable footwear and maintaining foot hygiene are important to prevent recurrence.
Foot corn surgery is a simple and effective solution for long-term relief from pain and discomfort. Timely treatment helps you return to your daily activities comfortably.
