Do I Need A Surgery For The Half Inch Glass In The Right Foot Since 2 Weeks?
I have a one and a half inch piece of glass in my right foot. It has been there for appx. 2 weeks. No sign of infection. Just wanting a second opinion, do I have to have surgery? Do i have to be under general anesthesia? I have been to one Podiatrist so far.

HI THERE THANKS FOR ASKING THIS ON HCM, it is better to consult with a surgeon and get it removed. if you have not taken a shot of tetanus then first take it. if you leave this glass piece as such it may cause infection of the wound soon which may lead to many complication. there is no need of general anaesthesia for this. hope this helped you.
