Review of recurring corn removal — I was more satisfied with the laser effect than corn bandages.
I had a small corn on the sole of my foot. At first, I removed it with a corn bandage and thought it was gone, but later it reappeared in the exact same spot. So, I went to a dermatologist, had it cleanly removed with a laser, and the laser treatment was very effective.
At first, it was small and didn't hurt at all, so
I just removed it myself with a corn bandage.
While repeatedly applying and removing the bandage
After about a month, the corn disappeared.
Back then, the surface of the soles had become smooth, so I thought they were gone...?
After a few months, it slowly crept back up in the same spot.
I think what I thought I removed with a corn bandage
It seems it wasn't completely removed, so it has recurred.
When it first appeared, it didn't hurt even when I pressed it.
The second corn that appeared was painful when I pressed it.
It bothered me even when I was walking, so I went to a dermatologist.
As a method of treating corns at the hospital
Cryotherapy, surgery, and laser—three types There is
My corn looks small, but it's been about 4 years.
They say that even if it looks small, the roots look deep.
In this case, to extract it perfectly
I heard that the laser effect is the best.
The doctor said that in my case, the laser would be the most effective.
I also want to remove it properly in one go.
I chose laser treatment.
I get an anesthetic injection before the laser treatment.
To be honest… the anesthetic injection really hurt.
This hurts more than the anesthetic injection I get in my gums at the dentist.
Still, the anesthesia worked well, so I didn't feel anything during the laser treatment.
It smelled a bit like burning squid.
The procedure finished quickly, and since it was on the sole of my foot, I came out with a bandage wrapped around it.
Cost sharing To put it simply
Hospital bill 28,800 won, prescribed ointment 2,700 won
After getting the laser treatment and coming home
A few hours later, I saw that there was a little blood.
And when the anesthesia wore off, it was throbbing, so I took painkillers as well.
I went back to the hospital the next day for dressing treatment, and the laser procedure was finished.
At the hospital, until a scab forms
I was told to put on a bandage and dress it well,
They said that once a scab forms, I don't need to put on a bandage anymore.
After getting hit by the laser, a hole pops out
As expected, the laser works well. It pulled it out completely, root and all.
After the laser procedure
Walking wasn't completely comfortable, and
I felt slight pain when walking barefoot, so I walked on my heels or the sides of my feet.
It wasn't to the point where I couldn't walk around.
Recovery process after corn laser treatment
The hole was filled in about a week after the laser treatment.
2/19
2/23
2/27
Looking at the date, a scab formed about two weeks after the laser treatment.
The fact that a scab formed means it has healed well.
The laser is definitely more effective than a corn.
It has been about three months since I received the laser treatment.
The corn has completely disappeared, and my skin has recovered cleanly.
If you touch it with your hand, you can't feel the depth.
What I realized this time is that rather than trying to solve old corns on your own
I think it's better to just go to the hospital.
If corn bandages failed, laser treatment is effective.
I think it would be a good idea to consider it.
Of course, anesthetic injections hurt a lot, but...
As a result, the laser effect was good.
especially Recurring corns
It was a treatment where the laser effect was definitely noticeable.
