Corn treatment in Zurich

Corns and warts can look simi­lar to each other. As expe­ri­en­ced der­ma­to­lo­gists, we can tell the dif­fe­rence, espe­ci­al­ly with the help of a der­ma­to­scope. Like corns, warts often deve­lop in places expo­sed to con­sidera­ble mecha­ni­cal stress. The most com­mon type is the ver­ru­ca, which is usual­ly found under callu­sed skin and con­ta­ins small black dots. The most com­mon fac­tor behind a wart is the human papil­lo­ma­vi­rus (HPV).

 

Corns are cau­sed by per­ma­nent pres­su­re or fric­tion on the skin. They may be pro­du­ced by shoes that are too tight or a foot malposition.

In order to treat a corn successfully and to avoid a relapse, not only the corn itself but, if possible, its cause must be removed. We normally use a suitable instrument or a laser to gently remove a corn once it’s been softened. Particularly deep-seated corns are removed under local anaesthetic.
