Suggest Treatment For Corns In Foot

Hello Dr, I have a corn below my foot, after consulting a dermatologist I applied corn cap, and today the skin layer including the corn is ready to be removed, my friend said corn will be long like a nail, but mine is just like a small ball size is little bit bigger than mustard. I am jus worried whether the remaing part of corn is left behind.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
hello,
No you should not be worried as this is ideal size of the corn and your corn is completely removed. Your friend may be confusing this with some thing else.
If you are still worried you can meet your dermatologist and confirm this. DO not make that part wet and avoid dust as this can become infected.
Thanks
