To bring awareness among people about corns disease, Dr A.K Aggarwal, president of Homeopathic Doctor’s Association talking to Alive News Correspondent, Shafi Shiddique said corn is a localised thickening of the skin due to abnormal pressure or friction. Corns on the soles of feet can be quite painful. They also hinder mobility. One is often forced to walk in a crooked manner to avoid putting pressure on the corns. For those who don’t know what corns are, it is important to understand in brief the cause and nature of corns.
What causes corns in feet or foot corns
Usually corns occur on areas that are devoid of hair and are smooth in texture. The soles of the feet are the most common areas that get corns. An ill fitting shoe is the most likely culprit.When excess pressure or friction is applied on a particular part, the superficial tissues try to protect the internal tissues. For this reason, they become a little hard and rough so as to form a protective layer. But this protective layer can itself become a cause of trouble when a pointed structure forms. This pointed structure presses over the internal surface when one walks and causes pain. In fact, pain while walking or standing is the only reason why patients seek medical care. Cutting off the corns with a blade is definitely to be avoided as it can cause infection. Moreover, chances of recurrence are high.
Non surgical treatment of foot corns
The usual medical advice that one gets for foot corns is to get them surgically removed. You go to a doctor and he will simply tell you to wear corn caps or to get the corn simply removed by the surgical method. Most of the patients act on this advice, because they do not know and do not try to know about other possible treatments for foot corns. Getting a surgery done for corns is not at all advisable because it does not offer any long term solution. In more than 70-80% of the patients, the corns recur. That is why it is not a good option to get the corns surgically removed. This is not something that I recommend to anyone.
Homeopathic treatment for foot corns – the best alternative or home treatment for foot corns
Homeopathy is the best bet for corns. You can easily cure corns with homeopathic medicines and avoid an unnecessary surgery. In almost 34 years of my practice, I have cured hundreds of cases of corns. None of my patients ever needed to get the corns surgically removed. In fact, so many patients who had got surgeries done earlier and were again reporting recurrence were treated successfully. The advantages of the homeopathic treatment for corns is that it is very easy to take. You can take the homeopathic pills on the go. These homeopathic remedies for corns do not have any side effects at all. At the same time, Homeopathy is economical and you do not have to submit yourself to the surgeon’s knife.
