Dry skin/ corn on index finger

2023-01-03 12:24:50
I developed a small corn on my index finger 2-3 months back and thought that it will go away naturally. However it has been growing with skin drying from other side of the finger too. In addition small corn like structures are developing on two more fingers. What should I do?

This is not a corn, it is viral wart. This is caused by HPV that is human papilloma virus growth in the skin. The treatment is to destroy the wart with laser. This procedure is done under local anaesthesia and does not take more than 10 mins. Please meet me at my clinic for treatment. Cream can also be tried but it is less curable than laser. You can consult online for all possible treatment explanations
