Abstract
Plantar corn characterized by painful, circumscribed horny thickening is often intractable to conservative management and the symptoms affect persons gait and activities. In Ayurveda it is described as Kadaram under Kshudraroga, being caused by aggravated Dosas along with Medas and Raktha. Treatment described for Kadaram according to Ayurveda is surgical excision followed by cauterization with Sneha. In this case series, a deviation from the prescribed treatment protocol was followed by doing surgical enucleation of corn and management of the excised site using Triphala Kasayam and Jathyadi Ghritam. The cases were prospectively followed up for three months for incidence of recurrence. No recurrence was observed during the follow up period. Thus, surgical enucleation followed by proper wound care can be effectively used in the management of plantar corn.
