The disease Kadara is not a life threatening condition, but makes the life of the sufferer miserable. Aetiological factors include injury due to the thorn prick, stone, cut, friction, pressure or wearing ill-fitting and tight shoes. The disease Kadara described in Ayurveda and Corn in western medical textbooks have absolute similarity in their manifestation. The management of corn is done by application of salicylic acid, corn caps, and invasive procedures like cryotherapy, laser, chemical cauterization, electric cauterization and surgical excision.
