HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this was the corn lesion and it is being removed surgically, wound healed and sealed so it may not occurs again if no pressure applied again on same point or part, great care needs to be taken for that, try to avoid putting the pressure, chances of happening it again is very less likely but it can not be avoided totally even after taking much care, hope this information helps.

Good day,
Noted. one of the ways to reduce chances of corn/callus recurrence in a diabetes patient is by attending a podiatry care center regularly. Using a well supported diabetic footwear after a foot pressure study ( pedo podogram) is also very useful. I must say it is difficult to assess and give a correct answer with out examining the foot. Podiatrist will be of great help.
