Corn Removal Treatment

WHAT is Corn Removal?

Corn removal is a specialized treatment designed to eliminate corns from the skin, typically on the feet. Corns are small, thickened areas of skin that develop as a result of repeated friction, pressure, or irritation. They are often found on the tops and sides of toes, as well as on the soles of the feet. Corns can cause significant discomfort and pain, especially when pressure is applied. While corns are not usually a serious medical condition, they can lead to complications if left untreated, particularly in individuals with diabetes or other conditions that affect circulation.

At Sheen Clinics, we offer comprehensive corn removal treatments to provide relief from pain and restore the skin to a smooth and healthy state. Our approach is tailored to each patient, ensuring effective treatment and minimal discomfort. Whether you're dealing with painful corns or seeking preventive care, we offer a range of treatment options designed to restore comfort, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.

Types of Corn?

  • Hard Corns: Hard corns are the most common type and are characterized by a small, concentrated area of thickened skin, often surrounded by inflamed skin. They typically form on the tops and sides of toes or in areas of the foot that experience significant pressure, such as the ball of the foot. Hard corns are usually caused by ill-fitting shoes or other sources of pressure and friction.
  • Soft Corns: Soft corns are white or gray in color and have a rubbery texture. They are usually found between the toes, where the skin is moist from sweat or inadequate drying. The constant moisture in these areas keeps the corn soft. Soft corns can be painful and are often associated with fungal infections.
  • Seed Corns: Seed corns are small, discrete calluses that can be found on the ball of the foot or the heel. They are named “seed corns” because of their appearance, which can resemble a seed embedded in the skin. Unlike hard and soft corns, seed corns are not typically caused by pressure but may be related to dry skin or other underlying conditions.

Treatment Process

  • Professional Debridement: Professional debridement involves the careful removal of the thickened skin using a scalpel or other medical instruments. This procedure is performed by a healthcare professional to ensure precision and safety. Debridement provides immediate relief from pain and discomfort by reducing the pressure on the underlying tissues.
  • Cryotherapy: Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and remove the corn. This method is effective for treating smaller corns and involves minimal discomfort. Cryotherapy works by destroying the affected skin cells, allowing new, healthy skin to grow in their place.
  • Chemical Peels: Chemical peels involve applying a solution to the corn that gradually dissolves the thickened skin. Salicylic acid is commonly used for this purpose. The solution is applied over a series of treatments, gradually softening and reducing the corn. This non-invasive approach is particularly useful for patients who prefer a less aggressive treatment method.
  • Padding and Offloading: To prevent recurrence and provide ongoing relief, padding and offloading techniques are used. This involves placing soft pads or cushions in areas prone to corn formation, redistributing pressure away from the affected areas. Custom orthotics may also be recommended to correct any underlying foot mechanics that contribute to corn formation.
  • Laser Therapy: Laser therapy is a more advanced treatment option that uses focused light to remove corns. This method is precise and minimizes damage to surrounding healthy skin. Laser therapy is particularly useful for hard-to-treat corns or those that have not responded to other treatments.
  • Surgical Removal: In rare cases, surgical removal of the corn may be necessary, especially if it is deeply embedded or associated with underlying structural issues. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and involves excising the corn along with any underlying bony prominences that may be contributing to its formation.

Benefits of Corn Removal

Pain Relief

The primary benefit of corn removal is the immediate relief from pain and discomfort. By eliminating the corn, pressure on the underlying tissues is reduced, alleviating pain and allowing patients to walk comfortably.

Improved Mobility

Corns can significantly impair mobility, especially if they are located on weight-bearing areas of the foot. Removing corns restores normal foot function, allowing patients to move freely and without discomfort.

Prevention of Complications

Untreated corns can lead to complications such as infections, ulcers, or deeper tissue damage, especially in individuals with diabetes or compromised circulation. Professional corn removal prevents these complications and promotes overall foot health.

Enhanced Appearance

Corns can be unsightly, especially if they become inflamed or infected. Removal improves the appearance of the feet, boosting confidence and allowing patients to wear open footwear without embarrassment.

Long-Term Solutions

In addition to treating existing corns, our comprehensive approach includes preventive measures to reduce the risk of recurrence. This may involve recommending appropriate footwear, orthotics, and lifestyle modifications.
