CORNS ON FOOT

by Manya324, Sep 30, 2008 12:35AM
I am diabetic Type II . Age : 61 ,wt: 89 Kg. B.S.L. Fasting : 126 ,  PP : 130
Regular in medicine on diabetics as prescribed by my physician.

I am having two corns on left foot since last one month. It is painful while walking . My regular morning walk is discontinued because of the corn problem .Should I use corn caps available accross counter drgug store ? or Should it be removed by a surgon doinf minor surgery only .

Also, one month back, my left index finger got a nick near the nail and nail is also cut deeply. I have applied anticeptic ointment and covered the cut by a handy plaster. It is not getting healed though the wound now is getting dried up slightly. Besides moderate pain when touched , colour od the skin is also getting a natural tone.

Should I consult a doctor or will it be OK in short period ?

Please advise.

You need to see a Podiatrist (foot doctor).
