Hello There.
I can understand your concern,
There are a few things that you can do for this issue,
there are something called corn caps available in the pharmacy store, you can buy those and apply at the corn site.
or there are salicylic acid preparations which you can apply over the area.
usually, it resolves within a month, but if it doesn't then you need to consult a general surgeon to get it removed surgically.
best regards, Dr. Anil kumar jain.

Hi there...I can understand your concern. Corn are usually very chronic and difficult to get rid off. It is better not to opt for surgeries, because there is a good chance of recurrence as they are very deep. There are many treatment options like salicylic acid, lactic acid creams available to treatment. Even superficial pairing can be done. So kindly consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment. Conservatively stop wearing tight shoes. Wear comfortable shoes and cotton socks.
