Hello,

I understand your concern for the corns on feet.

Corn is a layman term which is medically known as callosity and it is most often confused with planter viral infection known as planter warts.

It is better if you consult a dermatologist to get proper diagnosis as corn tapes are never a good solution for either corns or callosities and planter warts.

In my patients I suggest them to go for paring of the extra dead tissue and the application of either trichloro acetic acid or phenol to cauterize the extra dead tissue.

All the best.
