Question: Hi I am 23 year old , there was a small hole like thing under my skin which eas visible through my skin on my left foot, my friend told me that it can be a corn so I used corn plaster bandage on it for 2 week, now the skin around that hole is cutting by that bandage and I removed that skin wich was a 1 inch in size now the open skin was white spot where the hole was , what should I do now? The open skin pains.
Brief Answer:
Get examined to rule out sinus
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using HCM.
I went through your query and understood your concerns.
White skin around plaster is a dead skin, normally superficial cells in skin keep shedding off and new cells keep replacing it. Since you have applied plaster, dead cells have collected underneath it. So its appearing white in colour. It will replace with normal skin soon. Not to worry.
Use soft foot wears and avoid putting too much pressure over it.
As you have mentioned about hole, need to get examined to rule out sinus, If its so needs surgical treatment.Get examined by your doctor.
Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask further related query. I will be glade to answer them.
Wish you a good health.

Thank you for your reply,
I want to know that The hole could be a corn or not? The plaster has removed my skin from few layers deep where I can feel very soft nd sensitive skin. I have covered that open skin by using simple bandage (nitrofurazone I.p 0.2%) should I use that bandage until I go to doctor ?
Brief Answer:
Less probability of corn.
Detailed Answer:
Hi thanks for follow up query.
Corn can't appear like a hole. It will be like a extra growth over skin . So less chances of corn. Better to keep bandage over wound and show it doctor as early as you can.
Hope this helps you. Feel free to ask further related queries .
Wush you a good health.
