Corn, Callus & Plantar Warts

Corn, Callus & Plantar Warts

Shubham skin clinic at Pune Sinhagad road offers best treatment for corn, calluses and plantar warts.

Corn, calluses & plantar warts usually look same are thick, hardened layers of skin that develop when your skin tries to protect itself against continuous friction & pressure. Differentiation of corn, callus & wart is important for their proper treatment. They most often develop on feet & toes or hands & fingers. If you have diabetes or other conditions that causes poor circulation to your feet you are at greater risk of complications from corns & calluses. Seek your doctor’s advice for proper care & treatment. Plantar warts look same like corn but wart is due to virus.So proper diagnosis is required for treatment. Sometimes warts are excised by surgery but they return after surgery because surgery only removes wart & cannot kill virus so radio/electro surgery or fractional co2 laser are best choice of treatments for plantar warts and also corn & calluses.

​Continuous pressure & friction from repetitive action, ill fitting shoes, skipping socks, using hand tools etc are the main causes of corn & calluses. Wart is usually due to viral infection. Chances of spreading wart are more as compared to corn & calluses.
