A member asked:

Am i going to need surgery on my corn to get rid of it?

Corn/callus: To permanently remove a corn, surgery usually is the only option. In my experience surgery involves removing the offended bony prominence. On many occasions i would make a an adequate orthotic and offload the corn where it was reduced enough that the patient did not require the surgery. I do not recommend the corn removers bc it might debride the skin down to the bone and possible create an infec.

Corn: To really 'get rid of it' requires a surgical procedure of varying types depending on the position of the corn as well as the toe itself. See your podiatrist for an evaluation.
