Corns are localized, thickened areas of the skin that form due to excessive friction or pressure, most commonly on the feet and toes.
They are composed of hardened keratinized tissue, often forming a conical structure with the apex pointing inward, which presses on the underlying sensitive tissue, causing pain and tenderness.

Corns are typically caused by ill-fitting shoes, abnormal gait, bony prominences, or repetitive pressure on certain areas.
They are often classified as hard corns (on dry surfaces like toes or soles) or soft corns (between toes due to moisture).

If neglected, they can lead to ulceration, infection, or deformity, especially in diabetics or elderly individuals with poor circulation.

Homoeopathy treats corns by addressing both the local hyperkeratosis and the constitutional tendency to recurrent thickening or callosity.
The treatment is non-surgical, aiming to soften, reduce pain, and gradually remove the corns while preventing recurrence.

Remedies are selected based on the appearance (hard, soft, inflamed, or suppurating), pain characteristics (stinging, burning, or shooting), and modalities (better or worse from pressure, motion, etc.).

Homoeopathy promotes gentle exfoliation, restores normal skin metabolism, and reduces the mechanical sensitivity of affected areas, offering a safe, scar-free cure.

Supportive measures include wearing comfortable footwear, soaking feet in warm water, regular foot care, and avoiding frictional pressure.
