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.
