Abstract: Corn is a horny induration and thickening of the skin's outermost layer, the stratum corneum, brought on by intermittent pressure and frictional forces. Corns are among the most prevalent foot conditions, more common in women and the elderly. When it comes to treating corns, Homoeopathic medications are just as effective as conventional ones. Ferrum Picricum is mentioned as one important remedy for corns in Homoeopathic literature. A one-year study was conducted to ascertain the effectiveness of Ferrum Picricum 3X potency in lowering corn thickness and pain, using Visual Analogue Scale. After using statistics to calculate the difference between the scores before and after the treatment, it was found that the two-tailed P value was less than 0.0012, indicating that the change was statistically significant.
