How To Cure A Corn On Feet ?

hi docs, I have a corn on my feet , I had this a month back which got surgically removed by an excision done by a surgeon. The wound with 3 stitches healed some time back and had dried up . But unfortunately , I feel sinc elast 2 days that the corn is coming back and the skin has hardened around the wound area. With previous mdication before the excision, Doufilm solution (salicyclic acid) and corn caps couldnt help much, however on second opinion a doctor at my native gave a solution of dilluted silver nitrate which helped the other corns(got 2 more) wither away in no time. I am thinking of trying the same again for this new one (growing on the excision area) , can you suggest the name of the silver nitrate solution available in local pharmacy to help in this case ? Is silverex gel useful for this ? Appreciate your help.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your feelings...You might be know about CORN in Internet. There is no way to treat corn by medical therapy. Salicylic acid applications and silvernitrate solutions treating is temporary releiving pain and hardnress on that area..
I see similar cases plenty in my clinic.
Only SURGICAL is mandatory. After surgery better, treating by TCA Application on remove part will prevent further growth of Corn..
Hope this helps you.
