Plantar Corn vs. Wart: What Looked Like a Corn Was Actually a Wart

Plantar Corn vs. Wart:

What Looked Like a Corn Was Actually a Wart.

Before visiting our Gangnam Standard Orthopedic Clinic, this patient had searched more than 10 clinics and reached out to each one directly. Every clinic turned him away before he even came in, saying that a corn this large was beyond what they could treat.

He had been experiencing a persistent, uncomfortable sensation on the sole of his foot — as if something was attached there. Determined to get it properly evaluated, he and his girlfriend searched online and happened to come across Gangnam Standard Orthopedic Clinic.

He had already been diagnosed with a corn at another clinic and had undergone laser treatment, but saw no improvement. That's what brought him to us. After an ultrasound examination, the true identity of what he had long believed to be a corn turned out to be —

A wart!

Accurate examination and diagnosis matter. Only with the right diagnosis can a patient receive the right treatment.

At our clinic, the attending physician personally performs ultrasound examinations.

At Gangnam Standard Orthopedic Clinic near Gangnam Station, our doctor carries out visual inspection, palpation, and ultrasound — all personally — because we are committed to thorough and precise care.

He enjoys snowboarding as a hobby. While he had no pain, he said the bottom of his foot constantly felt as if something was stuck to it.

The wart measured approximately 5 cm in diameter. The medication and procedures he had received up to that point had produced no therapeutic effect, and the lesion had grown considerably in size.

Due to a misdiagnosis at a previous clinic, the patient had assumed all along that it was a corn.

We explained the difference between corns and warts, and walked him through the findings of the ultrasound examination, showing him where the wart virus was active beneath the skin.

Learning only now that it wasn't a corn but a wart is understandably frustrating.

He has now decided to proceed with wart removal treatment in order to eliminate the uncomfortable foreign-body sensation he has been living with.

Corns and warts are often confused with each other — sometimes what seems like a corn turns out to be a wart, and vice versa.

That is precisely why an experienced medical team and accurate diagnosis are so important.
