What Is The Treatment Of Corn In Right Thumb ?
My friend at Kolkata, India consulted a doctor for his daughter ( 7 years old). She is having corn in her right thumb. The doctor has said that it is dangerous, life-threatening and can spread to genitals and cause permanent infertility. You opinion please.

Hello,
Corns in the thumb or feet cannot spread to genitals. Nothing to worry. Surgical removal is good always if it's painful and resisting the activities of daily living. If not doing any trouble then hot water fermentation and simple kneading massage should help loosen the tissue.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
