Corn Removal in London
Consultant-led · day surgery · Harley Street, London
A corn is a small area of hard, thickened skin caused by pressure or friction, often over a toe joint. At Minor Surgery UK corns are treated in London from £900 — removing the corn and, where needed, correcting the underlying bony pressure. Most patients walk out and return to normal footwear within days.
What treatment involves
A corn itself can be pared down, but corns recur unless the underlying pressure is addressed. Where a bony prominence or toe deformity is the cause, minor surgery under local anaesthetic corrects it for a lasting result.
When surgery helps
Surgery is considered for painful, recurrent corns driven by an underlying toe or joint problem, rather than corns that respond to simple padding and footwear changes.
Recovery
Most patients walk out the same day and return to normal footwear within a few days, depending on whether surgery was needed.
Cost
Corn treatment starts from £900 all-inclusive (medical procedure — VAT-exempt).
Why choose Minor Surgery UK
Consultant-led foot care that treats the cause, not just the corn, in a CQC-registered London facility with transparent pricing.
Frequently asked questions
What causes corns on the feet?
Corns form from repeated pressure or friction on the skin, often over a toe joint or bony prominence, or from footwear that rubs. Treating the underlying pressure prevents them returning.
How much does corn removal cost?
At Minor Surgery UK, corn treatment starts from £900 all-inclusive, confirmed at consultation.
Will the corn come back?
Simply paring a corn often leads to recurrence; addressing the underlying bony pressure or toe shape gives a lasting result.
How long is recovery?
Most patients return to normal footwear within a few days, depending on whether minor surgery was needed.
What anaesthetic is used?
If surgical correction is needed it is done under local anaesthetic, so only the foot is numbed.
Can I just treat corns at home?
Padding, good footwear and gentle filing can help mild corns, but painful or recurrent corns should be assessed, as they often signal an underlying foot problem.
