Corn Removal Surgery Frequently Asked Questions

Corn removal surgeons are an important source of information. Questions about corns that we hear the most include:

What are corns?

Corns are painful calluses that develop on the feet. From the National Institutes of Health, “A corn, also known as a ‘clavus,’ is a type of callosity. Corns are uncomfortable, thickened skin lesions that result from repeated mechanical trauma due to friction or pressure forces. This condition is often seen in athletes and patients exposed to unequal friction force from footwear or gait problems, including the elderly, patients with diabetes, and amputees.”[1]

How do corns develop?

Corns develop over time and often worsen when left untreated. They can be hard or soft, and they tend to develop in joint areas due to the day-to-day friction and rubbing associated with movement.

What is the difference between soft and hard corns?

A hard corn is typically a small, concentrated area of hardened skin, usually located on the top or side of a toe. Soft corns are rubbery to the touch and generally develop between the toes due to moisture.

What symptoms are caused by corns?

Mild to moderate pain and discomfort are the most common symptoms associated with corns.

When should a corn be removed?

The best time to remove a corn is when one first notices that a corn has begun to form. Corns tend to worsen over time.

Is corn removal surgery painful?

At The Art of Foot & Ankle, professional corn removal surgery is performed using local anesthesia, ensuring patients’ comfort and providing a precise, aesthetic, and permanent solution to corn removal.
