Is surgery always required to remove a Corn?
In many cases, problems with corns and calluses can be treated without any surgical procedure. The key is to prevent the cause of the repeated force on the area and to soften and moisturize the area. This can be accomplished by:
- Avoiding stress to area
- Applying lotions and other moisturizers to the area
- Soaking affected area in warm soapy water to soften.
- Using pumice stones or sandpaper to remove hardened areas.
If the area remains painful, becomes inflamed, or creates an open sore, medical treatment is necessary to resolve the issue.
