Question: Hi Sir
My wife has corn in both of her feet close to her middle finger for the last 3 -4 years. Initially the corn was smaller but has now grown in size. Since the corn is not circular in shape, using a corn band did not help as the medicine in a corn band is applied over a circular area. Is there a cream or any other alternate medicine which can be tried ? Thanks in advance..
Regards
XXXX

Corn both feet , regular long term treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same .
Now your partners problem is that of corn over feet. Since she has this problem since many years now, I would like to tell you that we will try conservative measures first in the form of topical medicines to apply. We also have other measures like cryosurgery and radiofrequency . These measures are used in patients who do not get complete relief only with topical drugs.
Since corn cap did not help, she can use another agent . This is duofilm paint. It can be bought from any good chemist. There is a brush inside it.
Every night she should apply the paint only over the thick skin of corn. But before application of the medicine , she should immerse her feet in lukewarm water for ten minutes . Following this , slight rubbing of the corn should be done with a pumice stone so as to remove the superficial thick skin as much as is possible without any pain or discomfort . Following this , the medicine should be applied .
She should continue this regimen atleast for three to four weeks regularly.
It is a slow but effective home based treatment for longstanding corns.
Hope it helps
