Suggest Treatment For Corn Like Formation In Arms
I have corn like feature on my arm. I think the hair on the arm got pulled and corn got formed. I used corn remover strips but it seems it did nto remove it completely . The skin becomes dry and I chop it , slight blood comes out and sking again starts covering and corn remains there. I would like to request you to precscribe me any measure to remove it forever. it looks bad while being in with the people. Thanks

Hi. I think it could be wart. Corn develops on pressure points only. Wart can occur anywhere and have tiny finger like projections. Warts can be treated by cautery by a trained dermatologist. Else, you can apply salicylic acid 12% ointment twice daily for 3-4 weeks (stop once superficial ulcer or breaks in skin are noted). Hope it answers your queries
