What is the amount of time it takes to recover from a corn operation?

7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Days to weeks: Removal of a small corn that is not deep in the skin might not need any recovery time. However, cutting deeper to get a large corn, especially in a person with poor circulation (such as a person with diabetes or narrowed arteries) will require a longer recovery time, perhaps several weeks. Keeping close follow-up with the doctor during recovery is important to ensure proper healing.

Depends : This really depends on the area and type of procedure done. Talk to you operating surgeon about what to expect post operatively including recovery times.

Corn: Please see your podiatrist who is well versed in what this entails. There are different procedures and , thus, different recovery times accordingly.
