Corn Removal
Corn appears as small thick mass of hard layer which tend to develop when your skin attempt to protect itself beside any friction or pressure. Mostly, they are present on toes and feet of hands or fingers. On the outer side of the first and fifth toes corn are commonly seen because it is the point where pressure are mainly applied. Soft corns are those corns which tend to develop between the toes and they are not rigid as any other corn and they mostly develop because of presence of moisture between the toes.
For most people, simply eliminating the source of friction or pressure makes corns and calluses disappear. If they persist they can be removed surgically or by RF Treatment
The medical term for the thickened skin that forms corns and calluses is hyperkeratosis.

Difference Between Corn And Calluses
How the corn appears?
Corn appears as a thick and rough area of the skin. They are hard with a raised bump on the surface and they are tender when pressure is applied. They have got waxy and flaky skin.
Why corn are only seen on the feet?
When we wear any hard shoe due to any regular pressure which is applied corn can form. The whole weight of the body is taken by the feet and when it is combined with shoe pressure corn is formed.
Why won’t it go?
The lesions of the corn are very stubborn and they get open on wearing sandals and foot wears, due to this apart from applying corn plaster they don’t go on its own. Below the corn there is a mass of inflamed tissue known as bursa which is formed due to rubbing of the tissue. Bursa is formed because of the rubbing of the tissue but it increases the pressure below corn due to which it appears to be prominent.
