At first glance, this looked like a typical corn 🌽 small, raised, and in a common area.
But something didn’t quite fit. The patient wasn’t experiencing the usual sharp pain you’d expect.
On closer inspection, there was no central core, the 💎 shaped section of hard skin in the centre. Instead, we removed what appeared to be dried material, likely the result of a previous foreign body (such as a small splinter) that the body had reacted to.
It’s a good reminder that not everything is what it seems and why proper assessment is so important.
Feel free to share with someone who’s ever said “it’s just a corn” 👣
