A member asked:
Does the doctor need to do to tests to be sure if the diagnosis is corns?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diagnosing corns: Corns are often confused with warts. Sometimes it is helpful to pare the surface of a corn to make the diagnosis. A corn will have a glassy appearance at the base. A wart will not have this appearance. If still unsure, a biopsy could be done, but this usually isn't necessary.
