well.....for those of you who have no idea of a corn...it is typically a growth of dead tissue inside the skin due to which a sensation of pain is developed when something hard hits it.It generally affects those parts of the body where much pressure is applied in our daily routine......but don't surprise yourself if it comes on your palms or on the centre of your sole(which never touches the ground)....because it might be due to some sudden act of immense,instant pressure....like pricking a thorn,stepping on blunt pieces of scrap...etc. which may also cause this corn.It is immense painful only if something hits it ie pressure is put on it ,otherwise it is painless......in the initial stages...up to 3 months....it is quite minor and the pain is not so great....it can be removed then by a process called 'cauterisation' where they burn out the affected region....which is quite small at this stage....and let it cure at it's own pace.....this is a painless procedure...but detecting a corn at this stage is quite difficult to the patient,though doctors can detect it......but what is the use when the patient is least suspicious about the same.....and suppose we leave it...it grows ie,kills more dead tissues surrounding it,thus giving more pain,making it felt enough for some necessary medical action.....if the corn has grown big enough,it can no longer be cauterised but only surgically removed.....here they cut the affected region and remove the corn growths by hand....then they stitch the skin and allow it to cure for a period of 7 days when the stitches are removed....so much for the negligence!!!!!
but the surgery is painless as anaesthesia is given and lasts only for 15 minutes.....the total surgery along with the stitches....so much for a foolish corn....is a general thought but be advised...if ignored,it can be infectious and spread to other nearby regions too.....don't take it to such an extent.....and also,it is not like other surgeries and there is no need to fear about it....there are no complications involved either....unless being a diabetes patient of some sort.....and so on...so feel free and BE CAREFUL!!!!
