What should I do about a corn on my foot?
Treatment for plantar warts (commonly misnamed “corns” in colloquial Chinese usage—though this passage actually describes *clavus*, or corns, not viral warts) includes daily pressure-relief and protective measures, physical debridement (e.g., trimming), topical caustic agents, cryotherapy, and surgical excision. These interventions aim to reduce localized friction and pressure, remove hyperkeratotic tissue, alleviate pain during walking, and improve foot keratosis. If symptoms such as redness, swelling, purulent discharge, or severe pain impairing ambulation occur, prompt medical evaluation and treatment at a hospital are recommended.
