Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
In corn surgery ,one has to completely remove the corn ,so quite a lot of tissue is removed and a deep wound is formed at the site of surgery .Complete removal of corn is necessary to prevent any recurrence.
But with proper care in the form of topical antibiotic application and care of the site ,it tends to slowly heal .
You can take oral vitamin c to speed up the healing process.
