Yes, corns can be very painful. They can be particularly painful if pressure is applied, so a person with a corn may experience pain while walking, running or playing sports. Wearing shoes that fit and a fabric corn pad can help to relieve this pressure.
Worsening pain can also be the sign that a corn has become infected. If you think your corn has become infected, you should seek medical attention. Other signs of infection include swelling, redness and pus or drainage.
Pain is the number one reason why people seek out corn treatment. If you want to get rid of corns for good, book an appointment with our expert surgeon here at the Cadogan Clinic to find out how we can help you with corn removal.
