At the Indian Skin Clinic, we offer safe and effective corn removal treatments to relieve pain and discomfort caused by corns on the feet or hands. Our procedures are tailored to ensure precision, minimal discomfort, and long-lasting results, restoring comfort and mobility.
What Are Corns?
Corns are thickened areas of skin that develop due to repeated pressure or friction, typically on the feet or hands. They often occur in weight-bearing areas or spots prone to rubbing against footwear or tools.
Types of Corns We Treat:
- Hard Corns:
- Small, thick, and firm with a dense core.
- Found on bony areas like the tops of toes or soles of feet.
- Soft Corns:
- White, rubbery, and moist, often found between toes.
- Can be caused by sweat or tight footwear.
- Seed Corns:
- Tiny, painful corns that develop on the soles of the feet.
Causes of Corns:
- Ill-fitting footwear.
- High-heeled or tight shoes.
- Repeated friction or pressure from walking or using tools.
- Abnormal foot mechanics or deformities (e.g., bunions, hammertoes).

1. Medical Corn Removal (Debridement):
