What should I do if corns keep recurring?
Corns are hyperplastic lesions formed after foreign objects enter the skin and are subject to prolonged friction and pressure. They mostly appear on the soles of the feet. In such cases, commonly used corn ointments can completely cure them.
For some patients who suffer from recurring episodes, corn ointments are generally effective. However, if the condition frequently recurs and appears in abundance, it may need to be considered as common warts, which are caused by a viral infection.
Therefore, in such situations, it is advisable to visit the dermatology department of a regular hospital for a further diagnosis by a doctor. If the condition is diagnosed as common warts, cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen may be required for treatment.
If it remains a corn, it is advisable to adjust one's lifestyle habits, such as wearing looser shoes more often and avoiding walking barefoot on dirty surfaces as much as possible.
