Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Using corn caps to get rid of corn would take a long time. When you use the corn caps, it will become soft and helps to remove it layer by layer. It may take few months for you to get appreciable results.
However, it may shrink in size but might not remove completely.
It would be better if you get it excised by surgery as it will help to cure it completely.
Kindly consult Surgeon in this regard for evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided helps.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
