Will corns heal automatically?

Corns are not actually a serious disease, but they have a great impact on patients because they cause pain and make people feel very uncomfortable when they stand up and walk. In addition, whether a disease like this can heal itself depends on the pathological condition. Choosing appropriate treatment methods based on the actual physical condition of the patient will not only help self-healing, but also relieve the symptoms of the disease and reduce the patient's physical pain.

1. Can corns heal on their own?

Corns cannot heal themselves. They are mainly caused by long-term compression and friction of the skin on the feet, which leads to a hyperplasia of the stratum corneum. Because this hyperplasia of the stratum corneum is cone-shaped, it will squeeze the nerve endings below when standing and walking, causing obvious pain. Once corns are formed, they are difficult to heal on their own and require active treatment to make them fall off.

2. Treatment of corns

1. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment

After getting corns, you can take decoctions of Chinese herbs such as Isatis Root, Isatis Indigotica Leaf, Patrinia Sinensis to clear away heat and detoxify, take decoctions of Chinese herbs such as Chuanxiong, Peach Kernel, Safflower, Red Peony Root, Achyranthes Bidentata to regulate qi and promote blood circulation, take decoctions of Chinese herbs such as Dragon Bone, Oyster, Pangolin to soften and disperse the nodules, and the corns will fall off.

2. Laser treatment

Laser treatment for corns is effective quickly. If you find the pain of corns unbearable, you can go to a regular hospital for this treatment. However, this treatment may cause corns to remain in the skin, so even after laser treatment, recurrence is likely to occur.

3. Cryotherapy

Liquid nitrogen can be injected into the corns to freeze the corn tissue to death, which will cause the corns to fall off. However, when using this treatment method, you must pay attention to preventing infection, and the recurrence rate is also relatively high.

4. Acupuncture

This is also a relatively commonly used method of treating corns. When you have corns, you can find a professional to perform acupuncture on you, such as moxibustion, acupuncture, acupoint injection, fire needle, etc., and the effects are good.

5. Western medicine treatment

After you get corns, you can apply salicylic acid or other drugs externally under the guidance of a doctor. After a period of time, the corns will necrotize and fall off.

6. Surgery

If you get corns, you can go to a regular hospital for surgery to remove them. This is a very minor operation and can be done in an outpatient clinic. Although there may be some pain during the operation, the treatment effect is relatively good.
