After consulding general physician I tried to rub of the dead skin from it in order to heal but things got worse, corn start bleeding and since then some part of it has turned black. I am worried abt it as I am not able to walk bare foot and after bath skin becomes to soft so worried if it starts bleeding again or might get bigger.

Brief Answer:
follow the below mentioned treatment regimen
Detailed Answer:
Oral antibiotics generally clear up infected corns, but pus may have to be drained through a small incision.
Welcome to health care magic, I share your concern and I will try to help you out in best possible way.
Moisturizing creams may help soften the skin and remove cracked calluses. Apply the moisturizing cream to the callus and cover the area overnight with a plastic bag or a sock -- but only if instructed to do so by your doctor. Then gently rub off as much of the callus as you can with a coarse towel or soft brush. Using a pumice stone first to rub off the dead skin from a callus after a bath or shower and then applying moisturizing cream can also be effective.
There are also stronger creams containing urea that might be more effective, but don't use these unless recommended by your doctor. so there is no need to worry.
I hope this helps you.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
