Clinical Treatment of Foot Corns
A corn is not a simple callus—it has a deep, inverted cone structure. We perform a sterile, painless 'enucleation' (core excision) using specialized dermatological instruments, followed by TCA application if needed to destroy the base. We also provide strict footwear counseling to prevent recurrence.
| Step | Clinical Action | Relief Level |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Diagnostic | Distinguishing between Corn & Viral Wart | Expertise Needed |
| 2. Enucleation | Painless paring of the hard central 'Core' | Immediate 100% Relief |
| 3. Cautery | Clinical TCA or RF to prevent base regrowth | Permanent Result |
| 4. Offloading | Pressure-redistributing silicon pads | Long-term comfort |
Dr. Manali's Advice
Avoid 'corn caps' available at pharmacies. They contain high concentrations of acid that often burn the healthy surrounding skin while failing to penetrate the hard central core of the corn, leading to painful ulcers.
