Common symptoms of corns include:
- A small, round, raised bump with a hard centre, often on the tops or sides of toes
- Pain or tenderness when pressure is applied, like from shoes or walking
- Redness or inflammation around the corn
- A waxy or translucent appearance in the centre
- Sometimes a burning sensation or sharp pain with direct contact
At Doncaster Foot Clinic, we see corns all the time and know how quickly they can spoil your day. Our experienced podiatrists gently remove the thickened skin and core using safe, precise techniques – with no discomfort and usually within just 60 seconds! We will address the root cause with advice on better-fitting shoes, padding or orthotics to reduce pressure, and tips to stop them returning. For more stubborn corns, we offer more advanced treatments such as ‘Curacorn’ – a minor procedure that involves injecting dermal fillers beneath the corn to help cushion the area, and prevent it coming back!
If you’re fed up with painful corns, reach out – we’ll get you back on your feet comfortably, and fast!
