Plantar Corns, Calluses, and Warts: Why You Should See a Foot Specialist

Plantar corns, calluses, and warts

For an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment, you should visit a clinic with a resident foot specialist who is experienced in treating corns, calluses, and warts.

A patient who visited us in early February with a plantar wart

This patient had been receiving treatment for what another clinic diagnosed as a plantar corn, but the lesion was not improving and kept growing larger, which led them to visit our clinic.

The other clinic had diagnosed the condition as a corn and prescribed corn-removal medication, which the patient had been applying continuously.

Because the diagnosis and treatment were not accurate, time passed and the plantar wart continued to grow larger before the patient came to us — a clinic specializing in warts near Gangnam Station.

Gangnam Standard Orthopedics is a clinic specializing in plantar corns, calluses, and warts. We are located at Exit 5 of Gangnam Station and have a resident foot specialist on staff.

Many patients have told us they found it difficult to locate us as a plantar wart clinic because we do not advertise heavily — we will make more of an effort to be easier to find going forward.

At Gangnam Standard Orthopedics, our head physician and foot specialist Dr. Jo Ju-won personally performs all consultations and removal procedures. As a result, we see many patients with plantar corns, calluses, and warts who come to us after receiving an incorrect diagnosis or treatment elsewhere, or after experiencing a recurrence.

Because the condition was not a corn, we performed a thorough evaluation at our clinic and revised the treatment plan to address a plantar wart. Treatment took a little longer as a result,

but because the condition was correctly diagnosed and treated as a wart rather than a corn, the patient's wart was ultimately resolved through wart removal surgery.

At our plantar wart clinic, we document the wart removal process with photographs so that patients who are curious about what the procedure involves can see exactly what takes place during surgery.
