Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Corn On The Heel
Question: I have undergone twice for corn removal surgery on my heel. I again got the corn at the same place where I removed it earlier twice. Not understanding what to do now.
Brief Answer:
Incomplete removal can cause recurrence.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
If the corn is not removed completely during surgery then recurrence can happen. You need to take more care of your feet. Regular pedicare sessions and using soft soles will help in avoiding the recurrence. Do take special care to give an extra soft cushion in the area of recurrence. Surgical total excision is the only way to get rid of the corn.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
