Corns are a type of callus with a hard core in the center that can occur on the top of, between, or on the tip of the toes and feet — usually on non-weight-bearing parts of the skin. Patients with a hammertoe condition, where the middle toes are bent upward, and can form uncomfortable corns or calluses.

How We Treat Corns and Calluses: Every patient is unique, so the decision between conservative treatment versus surgical correction is a personal one. Before coming to a decision, the patient and doctor must take into consideration current lifestyle, medical conditions, age, and the severity of the corn and callus issue.

If conservative treatment fails, the option to not have surgery is as important as the decision to opt for surgical intervention. With surgical removal, not only can the thick and discolored portion of the corn be removed, but if the patient chooses surgery, the surgeon can also remove the offending portion of the bone (or bone spur) to prevent the corn from returning.
