What doctor removes foot corns?

Podiatrist: You can always reach out to podiatrist for such conditions. Although a dermatologist does have the right tool for corn removal; however, very unlikely that a dermatologist would even bother.

Foot Specialist: Many patients believe they have a foot corn or callus when it's actually a wart or a different soft tissue lesion. Most Podiatrists will be able to determine the exact cause and the proper treatment of all the above! Best wishes!

Short or long term..: There are different meanings to the phrase "remove corns". If you mean by shaving for temporary relief, but most likely doomed to return, often times worse. Or is removing a corn directed more to the permanent removal, involving surgical intervention. Podiatrists usually perform both tasks.
