What is a Corn removal?

Comfort Restored Permanently

What does it work?

Corns can develop anywhere on the feet, such as on the toes, and their permanent removal may need surgery. A corn is a small area of thickened skin that forms in response to an external pressure or friction, usually on the foot and toes. It usually comes from wearing badly fitting shoes or walking a lot.

Corn removal surgery is a good option to get rid of stubborn corns that don’t respond to other home treatments and over the counter treatments. Whether the corn is on the toe or at another part of the foot, surgery is the best option to treat corns for long-term relief and to eliminate the problem permanently. Most painful corns can be resolved in this manner, providing long-lasting relief.

Several benefits include:

  • Pain relief
  • Long-lasting results
  • Improved comfort
  • Prevents complications
  • Better mobility

The many types

Hard corns

These are small, dead skin, or hardened skin found on the tops or sides of toes due to irritation from pressure in tight shoes.

Soft corns

These are more soft and wet, frequently appearing between the toes, brought on by a tight shoe that exerts pressure on surrounding skin.

Seed corns

These are small, hard foot corn that typically form on the bottom of the foot. They may be very painful and cause discomfort, and feel like tiny seeds or pebbles.

The procedure
Gentle Corn Solutions
What are the techniques used in foot corn removal?

Here are multiple corn removal techniques eliminate corn:

  • Shaving or debriding: The doctor shaves off the corn. A quick and painless treatment performed in a clinic.
  • Chemical removal: A specialty solution is applied to soften the corn, so it can be removed after several days of treatment with a scrub or pumice stone.
  • Surgery: When the corn is severe, surgery may be required to remove the corn or any abnormal bone structure contributing to the corn formation. Depending on the extent of it, you may need local anaesthesia.
  • Laser surgery: In this newer treatment, a laser removes the corn without harming nearby skin. It’s minimally invasive and has short recovery time.
Quick Corn Relief
How long does the corn surgery take?

Corns can be surgically removed in some stubborn foot problems. Fortunately, it’s a straightforward procedure with a quick recovery. The operation takes approximately 30 minutes and gives long-term relief.

Minimal Scar Promise
Will there be scarring?

With non-invasive removal methods such as shaving or chemical removal, scarring is not a significant concern. In the event that surgery is necessary, there will be a small scar, but this is often very tiny and tends to fade over time. The amount of scarring depends on the technique, and how the body heals.

Swift Recovery Assured
Is there any downtime?

Most people can resume normal activities immediately after surgery.

Painless Corn Care
Is foot corn removal treatment painful?

Removing corn is usually not painful. Non-invasive, minimal discomfort, even if surgery is required, a local anesthetic guarantees no pain. Some mild discomfort may follow, but that typically goes away quickly.

How to prevent corn from recurring?

  • Trim toenails and excess skin to prevent rubbing or irritation.
  • Wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes with soft soles and low heels.

Am I suitable
Is Hydrafacial good for me?

Good candidates for corn removal surgery are typically patients whose corns and calluses are not responsive to over the counter products and standard treatments like corn pads and salicylic acid, and have not improved. These corns usually lead to pain or discomfort that disrupts daily life.

Candidates should be in good general health, too. Diseases such as diabetes or poor blood flow can complicate the healing. And you will absolutely not have a history of keloid scarring, as doing so will compromise the end results of the procedure.

The risks
Can risks be prevented?

Like any surgery, corn removal has some risks, but it is relatively safe. Some potential risks include infection, reactions to anesthesia, nerve damage, and the chance that the corn may return if its underlying cause isn’t treated. Scarring and reduced healing of wounds may also occur.

Your doctor who reviews your health condition and medical history will then decide whether the procedure is appropriate for you.
