Yes, removing a specific type of callus, called a hard corn, can leave a small dimple or hole in the skin.
Here's why:
A hard corn is essentially a callus with a dense, hard center. The treatment involves removing both the callus itself and this hardened core. This removal process, known as "enucleation," creates the small depression or hole. It's important to note that this only happens when a hard corn is treated in this manner. Simple calluses don't generally leave a hole after removal. The "hole" is really just the space where the hard core of the corn used to be.
Think of it like scooping out the pit from a cherry. The cherry itself is the callus, and the pit is the hard corn's center. Removing the pit leaves a hole.
In summary, while typical callus removal doesn't result in a hole, the removal of a hard corn’s center through enucleation can leave a small dimple or hole.
