Corn

Corn Removal Treatment in India

A corn is a small, concentrated core of hard skin, usually on or between the toes, that forms from pressure or rubbing and can be painful. At EDFC, corns are safely removed and the pressure causing them addressed, with particular care for diabetic feet, where a corn can become a wound.

What is a corn?

A corn is like a small, focused callus with a hard central core that presses into the skin, causing a sharp, localised pain. Hard corns appear on the tops or tips of toes; soft corns form in the moist skin between toes. They are caused by pressure or friction, often from footwear or a toe deformity. In a diabetic foot, the pressure point and any skin break carry an ulcer risk.

Signs to watch for

• A small, hard, painful lump on or between the toes
• A central core that hurts when pressed
• Soft, soggy corns between the toes
• Pain when wearing certain shoes
• Recurring corns at the same spot

When to see a doctor in India: if you have diabetes, don't cut corns or use medicated corn plasters (which contain acid), have them removed professionally to avoid injury and ulcers.

Why they form

Corns come from concentrated pressure or rubbing, tight or pointed shoes, toe deformities like hammer toes, or abnormal foot mechanics. Treating the cause prevents recurrence.
