Cutaneous horns may be readily and permanently removed.
What is the treatment?
Treatment consists in detachment, and subsequent destruction of the base; the former is accomplished by dissecting the horn away from the base or forcibly breaking it off, the latter by means of any of the well-known caustics, such as caustic potash, chloride of zinc and the galvano-cautery.
Another method is to excise the base, the horn coming away with it; this necessitates, however, considerable loss of tissue.
