I never knew that a corn could be so annoying. That was until I had one, for the very first time.
No no, not this delicious corn. It’s actually the corn that grows on the foot caused by constant friction (still don’t understand the science behind it). Basically, a foot corn.
So yeah, it grew on the sole of my feet. Started off as an innocent little bump, which later on turned into an irritating damn-why-u-grew-there thing.
I had it for about 3 months, endured the pain caused by the pressure whenever I walk.
I used corn plasters for almost a week, it’s still there. I applied corn-rid solution for about 2 weeks, damn it’s still there – my skin was pretty damaged though.
That was when I told myself – enough! Imma gonna get ride of it MYSELF!
Yeap. My. Self. Project “Foot corn removal” initiated.
Actually I was advised to visit a doctor to get it surgically removed. Apparently the corn will always be there if you don’t remove the “root”.
Ahh… the root… needs to be surgically removed… so – I got a tweezer, washed it clean and took the plunge! I started fiddling and pulling the “infested” flesh off.
It was frigging painful every single time when I attempt to pull out the corn flesh. It was quite deep.
I went on, very determined and motivated. I insisted that I will get rid of this nuisance – once and for all.
Yeap, that’s just a single piece – there are actually more of it. Imagine I had to gather my strength and guts just to extract such a tiny flesh from my feet – multiple times!
The pain was immense, the blood kept on flowing.
My tissue even turned into a red polka dot tissue. Lady Gaga would certainly love to use it on her future outfit.
I’m awesome. Pretty much the whole chunk of corn flesh has been removed (pulled off), and probably the root as well – since umm… there was a crater. What a bloody mess.
So black ah, and I thought to myself – was it successful?
Well, I thought the corn has returned from the dead! Just look at the skin texture, so similar to a corn. All my effort seemed wasted at that moment.
It has started to disappear! The skin was turning back to normal and there was no longer any pain when I pressed on it. Great!
I’m awesome! I have successfully gotten rid of the corn with my bare hands! Awesome or what? With my bare hands, ya know? Don’t play play!
Know what, thinking back on my amazing feat – I think I can be a professional surgeon one fine day.

adoi!! sakitnya.. saya boleh bayangkan.. huhu.. sakit gila!
i also got rid of my corn – but it wasn’t as deep as yours so i just rubbed and rubbed and pulled and pulled and out it came, and this was 35 years ago and have never had another one since. but i’m far more careful about the shoes i now wear.
Is that a corn or a wart??
I’m also having same kind of corn in my right foot for last ten years ,am gonna try ur surgical process today wish me luck thank you.
How was your “surgery”? Success??
i didn’t even do anything. All I did was waited (unfortunately about a year) and then it went away. I’m not sure how but its gone now!
hi..so sad, i got a foot corn aslike you now, it’s about 2 weeks passed..very painful and i used the nail clipper removal the corn but blooding out aslike your pictures above. Now my foot look ugly…i still in observation stage for this corn. Will plan to go surgery if can’t success surgical by myself. We always prefer to do it ourself first before let dr. busy for us. Hope im fine after review from your blog sharing about this foot corn problem.
Thx to this blog really helps me a lot.
I had total of 8corns on my both foot, i thought it just the foot blistered, I had no idea what it is and how to remove it, I tried to trimmed with nail clipper but it was bleeding so much, after bear for 2months until I found this blog about self surgery.
Firstly get a liquid corn solution at any pharmacy and put few drops on corn followed by instruction, soften the hard corn bout 1week, finally it’s time for corn harvest.. I can easily remove my corn. Hurray!
This is not a corn. It’s a wart. Warts are very vascular (meaning lots of blood vessels) which is why they bleed so much during removal. Corns are not, and shouldn’t bleed like that. I can even see the tiny black dots from tiny dead blood vessels in one of the pics. Do not attempt self surgery on a wart. You risk spreading them or having them come a lot nastier and angrier.
