✦ OFFICE CORN REMOVAL

Corn / Callus Debridement

Q: Will the corn come back after debridement?

If the underlying pressure source — usually footwear or a bony prominence — is not addressed, corns can recur. Proper footwear, padding, and orthotics significantly reduce recurrence.

Q: Is debridement painful?

No. Debridement is performed gently and is painless. Most patients feel only a mild scraping sensation, with significant relief once the thickened skin is removed.

Q: When is surgery needed instead?

Surgery is considered for persistent or recurrent corns despite conservative measures, especially when caused by an underlying bony prominence that needs correction.

Q: How can I prevent corns from forming?

Wear well-fitting, comfortable footwear, use protective padding over pressure areas, keep skin moisturised, and address bony prominences with orthotics. Diabetic patients should follow strict foot care to avoid complications.

What is Corn / Callus Debridement?

Corn / Callus Debridement is a quick, painless office procedure to gently shave off the thickened, hardened skin that forms a corn or callus. It provides immediate relief from pressure-related pain, improves walking comfort, and is often combined with footwear advice and protective padding to prevent recurrence. While debridement is the cornerstone of conservative treatment, persistent or recurrent corns may need surgical correction of the underlying bony cause. Dr. Tejasree Vengala offers corn debridement at Lux Hospitals, Hyderabad, with attention to patient comfort and long-term prevention.

How the Procedure Works

Examination & Soaking

The corn or callus is examined, and the area is gently soaked in warm water to soften the thickened skin.

Sterile Preparation

The skin is cleaned with antiseptic solution, and sterile instruments are prepared.

Careful Debridement

Using a fine sterile blade or curette, the thickened skin is carefully shaved off layer by layer until comfortable, healthy skin is reached.

Padding Application

Protective padding or a dressing is applied to cushion the area and prevent immediate pressure.

Footwear & Prevention Advice

Detailed advice is given on footwear, padding, and identifying the pressure source to prevent recurrence.
