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?

I've had a foot corn for over a year now that won't go away no matter what I try, even used Watnil solution without success. Is surgery the only permanent fix for this or are there other long-term solutions that actually work? I'm worried it might keep coming back even after treatment.

While surgery can be an option, it's not always the first or only choice for a persistent foot corn. Other long-term solutions, like addressing the underlying causes and using professional treatments, can also be effective.

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?
