I'm dealing with a really painful corn on my right foot that's making it hard to walk. I already saw a dermatologist who gave me an ointment, but unfortunately, it didn't help. I'm thinking surgery might be the next step. Could you give me some advice on where I can get this done?

My mom is 52 and has had foot corns on both feet since she was 35. At first, it was just a few, but now her whole foot even the upper skin and nails is covered. She can barely walk because of the pain. Is surgery the only option for this? Can foot corns be completely cured or will they keep coming back?

my mom has corns on her feet and i'm looking for treatment options that don't involve surgery and are affordable like liquid nitrogen or other alternatives what would you recommend

‚ÄìSoaking and Exfoliation: Soaking your feet in warm, soapy water can soften the corn. After soaking, use a pumice stone or foot file to gently remove the thickened skin. ‚ÄìMoisturizing: Apply foot cream or lotion to keep the skin soft and prevent further buildup.
