Question: Hello Doctor,

I am having a hard skin beneath my left foot and suspecting it to be feet corn - it is a kind of dead skin and hard - at times walking/activity gets quite painful and specially on & around the corn area. Can you please suggest me what could be the cause & if I should do anything about it?

Brief Answer:
It needs to be removed surgically

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.

It may happen due to repeated friction, sometimes for no specific reason.

You need to see a surgeon and get it removed.

Hope it helps.
