Hello, I have a corn which is now soft on my second toe . It randomly came and after consulting my doctor he told me to change my footwear so it doesn t rub against my toe. I done this and my corn which was a rock hard white lump of skin is now just a circle of pink skin which I want removed. Could you tell me how i can get this done? Thanks

Hi.
If you want to get your Corn removed,Consult your Dermatologist/Surgeon.You dont try to remove it by yourself.As the Corn will be Conical in shape and deep,it has to be removed by a Qualified person only.
Entire corn has to be removed.If it is removed partially,recurrence may occur.
It is done as a out patient procedure.
Dont worry.
Regards
