Heel corns are usually caused by pressure and friction, most often from hard footwear or abnormal weight distribution. Yes, most corns can be treated without surgery. Start by wearing soft, cushioned footwear and avoid hard-soled slippers. Use a silicone heel cup or corn cap to reduce pressure. Regular soaking of the foot in warm water followed by gentle filing can help thin the hard skin. If pain persists or the corn keeps recurring, a doctor can safely pare it and correct the pressure point, which usually gives good relief without surgery.
