  5. I'm dealing with a recurring corn in the same spot even after having it surgically removed. I'm considering going the ayurvedic route, maybe even something like agnikarma. My big worry is, will the skin grow back normally there? And if so, how long does that usually take? Also, I'm curious about how laser removal works for this. How does the skin heal afterward?

I'm dealing with a recurring corn in the same spot even after having it surgically removed. I'm considering going the ayurvedic route, maybe even something like agnikarma. My big worry is, will the skin grow back normally there? And if so, how long does that usually take? Also, I'm curious about how laser removal works for this. How does the skin heal afterward?

To address your concerns, skin regrowth after surgical removal of a corn can take several weeks to months, Agnikarma is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment that can be effective in removing corns, and laser removal uses high-intensity light to target and remove affected skin tissue, with skin recovery typically taking a few days to a week.
