3 Methods to Remove Warts and Corns When You Can't Tell Them Apart

My children and I have always been prone to warts or corns since we were young.
All four of us have warts. We have a total of three experiences removing corns.

Would you like to hear about that experience?

First, there is the simplest laser treatment. The surgeon said it could be easily removed, so they anesthetized me and in just five minutes, they completely removed it using a laser. They removed it much more extensively than a wart, so it took about a month for new skin to grow and for me to return to normal life. Since it was on the sole of my foot, my walking became unstable, and eventually I even started to experience pain in my sacrum.

The second method involves scraping off the upper hardened skin at the internal medicine (Changwon Gut Hospital) and removing only the root part with a laser. The procedure took over 30 minutes, but perhaps because the area removed by the laser was smaller, it took about two weeks for complete healing. In fact, the lesion treated at the surgical department was very tiny, about the size of a sesame seed, so I trusted the simple explanation without much thought and did it impulsively. The wart or corn removed at the internal medicine was huge, cumbersome, and painful, so I went in with high expectations, but the postoperative results varied greatly depending on the method used. I prefer the internal medicine approach, but my children are afraid of that hospital because they say it hurts even when scraping or when the procedure takes a long time. They say the injection anesthesia still hurts. What kind of hospital would you choose?

One other remaining method is a folk remedy. Seeing my older sister and brother suffering from warts, the youngest sibling decided not to go to the hospital and was taught a folk remedy: using jujube to remove warts and corns. After one successful attempt, it worked again once more, and then no more appeared. This method requires some patience. You peel out the seeds from dried jujubes and fix the flesh part onto the wart or corn with a bandage. Every evening after a shower, you replace it with a new jujube. Someone said it only takes 2-3 weeks, so we started, but it actually took us 2-3 months. When we wondered if it could really remove the wart, it suddenly fell off. The second one also took about three months. Just when we started to think about going to the hospital to have it removed, it fell off. It was a truly fascinating experience. I realized that folk remedies, although slow, can work.

There is a scar on my sole from laser wound treatment. In contrast, the large wart removed by the internal medicine department is so well healed that I can't even tell where it was. The internal medicine doctor said that the treatment takes a long time, so it's difficult to do on the same day; you need to make an appointment by phone and come in.
