How long does it take for a corn plaster to fall off?

Generally, it takes about 1 to 4 weeks for corn plasters to cause the corn to fall off. The details are as follows:

Normally, how long it takes for a corn plaster to work and for the corn to fall off varies from person to person. If the corn is small and symptoms are mild, the treatment duration might be shorter, with the corn completely falling off within 1 to 2 weeks. However, if the corn is large, deep, or the condition is more severe, a longer time will be needed to soften and remove it, thus prolonging the usage period of the corn plaster, which may take about 3 to 4 weeks.

Each individual's skin sensitivity and tolerance are different, so reactions after using corn plasters may vary accordingly. Sensitive skin may respond more quickly to corn plasters, whereas skin with higher tolerance may require a longer time before visible results occur. Correct application methods can also accelerate the removal of corns, including steps such as soaking the feet, removing the hardened skin, and properly applying the corn plaster.

Therefore, before applying a corn plaster, soak your feet in warm water, dry them thoroughly, and then apply the corn plaster directly onto the corn. Generally, remove the plaster after 24 hours and gently scrape away the keratin plug with a scalpel. If the corn has not been completely removed, continue applying the corn plaster externally until the corn is fully removed.
