Corns develop primarily due to friction or pressure on the skin, commonly from ill-fitting shoes, toe deformities like hammertoe, or certain walking patterns.

Corns themselves are not dangerous, but they can cause pain and discomfort. In some cases, untreated corns may lead to complications such as infections or ulcers.

Diagnosis of corns involves a physical examination by a healthcare provider, such as Dr. Brijesh Yadav at Nine Eleven Clinic. In some cases, additional tests may be performed to assess the severity of the corns or rule out other conditions.

Treatment options include corn removal procedures, which involve safely removing the hardened skin. Dr. Yadav may also recommend footwear changes, orthotic inserts, or other measures to reduce friction and pressure on the affected areas.

Corn removal procedures are typically performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Patients may experience mild discomfort or soreness after the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Recovery time varies depending on the individual and the extent of the corns. Most patients can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure, with any discomfort usually resolving within a few days to a week.

While corns can recur, proper footwear, orthotic inserts, and regular foot care can help prevent their return. Dr. Yadav and the team at Nine Eleven Clinic provide personalized recommendations to reduce the risk of recurrence.
