Corn-Excision

Corn & Calluses

Be kind to your feet!
Years of abuse, ill fitting footwear and lack of basic foot care may lead to development of hardened areas on the soles. The skin generally starts to thicken at the areas of excessive friction or weight bearing as a protective mechanism to form a cushion to prevent the skin from blistering. As the dead skin further gets impacted it forms a very hard centre called the nucleus of the corn which continuously impinges on the skin while walking and weight bearing.

What is a callosity/corn?

Calluses are generally due to repeated friction like on the palms when a person regularly visits the gym and has friction from the dumbbells or pull up bars.

Corns on the other hand are more serious, as they happen either due to internal bone abnormalities or ill fitting shoes. The most common areas are on the the sides of the toes, or the sole itself.

At Everything Skin & Hair, we help to manage the corns effectively.

Preventive Measures

During the initial consultation, Dr. Punit Saraogi, one of the best dermatologists in Mumbai, will be able to point out factors that may have contributed to the formation of corns.

These may involve change of footwear and sometimes wearing protective cushioned soles.

Most patients neglect their corns until it becomes very painful and are left with no choice than to visit a dermatologist.

Outsmart the corn, take measures to manage the condition more effectively.
