What Causes Foot Corn Pain With Black Spots?

Hi. I have had a foot corn on my heel for about a month. It s very painful. Just recently I saw that there is a black dot in the center. Its like a hole in my corn. One of the dots fell out and now i had another one tonight. I scrubbed my feet and soaked them and i looked down and saw that the dot was really big. i went to get up and sat back down and it was gone. my question, what is the black dot?

Hello,

I can understand your concern for the corn with black spots. After analyzing your query with best diligence I can make out a possibility of plantar wart on foot.

Do not try to cut or pinch, pop or scratch the area. Keep the area dry and wear cotton socks. Change the socks two time a day. Do not wear others sleepers or shoes and wear soft shoes.

For the treatment of plantar wart on foot there are certain methods of treatment all of which are done by cauterization. I suggest my patients to go for cauterization under expert direction by radio-frequency or electro-cautery or by chemical methods. For the above you can meet a dermatologist for best possible diagnosis & treatment.

Take care.
