Question : Hello I am not sure if this is the right dr but I have corns on my toes can I put polysporn on them
Brief Answer:
Polysporin is antibactrial. May not help.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted the history of corns on toes.
If you mean polysporin, it will not help if these are corns.
Please post photos of the corn affected toes, this may help to know whether these are corns or viral warts.
Corns have single elevation, hard and have no black spots.
Viral warts are smaller and have multiple black spots on surface.
I hope this answers your query and helps further.
