What Is The Treatment Of Corn On Toe ?

i have corn on my right little toe for the past 3 months. Of late it had started to pain, so I have put corn caps on the corn. I have so far changed 4 corn caps ( changed the caps after 2 days), but the corn still exists. How much more time should I persist with corn caps or should I go for surgery?

Hello,

You can try salicylic acid ointment. However, results are not satisfactory.

If lesion persist you can consult a dermatologist and plan for cauterisation or cryosurgery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
