Hello neha;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
A corn is a thickened growth of the skin which usually comes at pressure point in foot.It is superficially thickened and has deep seated root so many times the corn caps do not work.Presently the only thing you can do is to consult a doctor and get it removed surgically so that the doctor may try to remove the root as much as possible to prevent recurrence.
Thanks
