Skin Has Turned Mildly Red, Continuous Pain Since Using Corn Cap On Inner Side Of Foot. What Could This Be?
I used corn caps for a few weeks to remove what I thought was a corn on the inner side of my left foot . The corn never came out and now the skin has been mildly red and a bit painful for a few weeks after I stopped using the caps. I have to wear closed shoes all day and the pain never really subsides. What could this be?

Hallo
Thanks for your query.You had acorn on left foot and you were using corn cap for a week and now it has become red and painful This indicates that whatever callosity you had is inflamed now and need to take antibiotic like Cap Doicycline 100 mg twice daily along with inflammatory drug like Diclofenac 50 mg twice daily..Once the inflammation subsides you may have to excise it under local anesthesia
