Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar (dermatologist).
I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.
I request you to kindly upload an image in "Reports section" so that I am able to guide you better.
I suggest that you should allow the wound to heal before going on to next surgery. Wounds on sole anyways heal slow because of lack of rest and being a weight bearing region and moreover they cause a lot of discomfort and pain while walking due to weight bearing. Surgery is therefore not a first option for plantar warts or corns. There are alternatives to surgery e.g topical keratolytics, cryotherapy which can be tried after the wound heals.
