Why am I suddenly getting corn on my feet? What is the root cause of foot corns? Is corn a fungal infection? Why do people get corn?
The answer is simple-
Foot corns are due to thickening of the skin as a protective response against friction or irritation. Foot corns consist of epithelial cells and a plug of dead cells that makes them hard.

Foot Corns and Calluses - All You Need to Know
Foot corns are small, circular patches of thickened skin that develop due to friction or pressure on specific areas of the feet and tend to be deeper. Calluses, on the other hand, are broad and shallower patches of thick skin. Both are the result of your body’s defense mechanism to too much pressure, which aims to protect the underlying skin. However, they bring about discomfort, pain, and swelling if you don’t get foot corn and callus treatment in Hyderabad.
Don’t wait for the problem to become massive if you are suffering from repeated cases of foot corns or calluses. Medical help is necessary, and it’s lucky that Smart Surgeon is here in Hyderabad precisely for those in search of corn on feet treatment.
Common Causes of Foot corn
The primary and most common reason for foot corns are:
- Ill fitting shoes: like high heels, too tight or too loose fitting shoes.
- Poor walking habits like inward or outward rolling of the feet while walking. This is more commonly seen in elderly due to the weakening of the foot arch which makes them prone to getting foot corns.
- Foot deformities like hammer toe like excessive bending of the toes, commonly seen on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th toe.
- Standing for long period of time can also cause corn due to increase friction on the weight bearing parts of the feet
Stages of Foot Corn
Every corn has 3 stages:
- Initial stage of callus development: which is thickening of the skin and it does not have a hard core. This is also called soft corn and can be scraped off or treated with topical treatments like corn caps.
- Progressive stage: If the skin continues to be irritated the corn starts to harden having a plug of dead cells and gets bigger and deeper. It is at this stage that you will start experiencing pain.
- Advanced stage: Is when the foot corn becomes hard and starts compressing on nearby tissues and going deeper. The pain in this stage is significant as the corn is compressing on the nerves. In some cases the corn starts getting nerve and blood vessel supply and it is then called neurovascular corn. Advanced and neurovascular corns are extremely painful and affect a person's quality of life.

What happens if a corn is not removed? When should corn be removed? Do corns require surgery? Who should remove corns?
In most cases, corns do not need any surgery or can be treated with topical treatment of salicylic acid (or corn caps). In addition to this conservative treatment of shaving of corn also helps in treating the corn completely.
Surgical corn removal or excision is needed when:
- The corn is too deep and conservative methods fail
- There is too much discomfort and pain
In our experience, most of our patients come at a very advanced stage of corn with significant pain and discomfort. Most patients would have tried corn caps for months or even years before they approached us for a solution. By the time they reach us the corn is so deep that it cannot be treated without surgery.
Hence we recommend that in case you have tried corn caps for weeks and it is not healing, please consider a consultation with Smart Surgeons. At earlier stages, conservative treatment of shaving off the corn is effective and also cheaper.
