General Surgeon,  's  Response
Corn and Callus of the foot happen due to increased plantar pressures during walking. The corn can be scrapped if shallow. If deep, surgical excision and suturing is usually done under local anesthesia. Once the wound has healed, you must always use soft insoled pressure distributing insoles in your foot wear. Materials like Silicon, Plastazote, Poron, E.V.A are good to prevent future callus or corns.
