How to get rid of my corn in my heel?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Corn: What we think is a corn may be a wart, ipk, callus, or other skin condition. Some over the counter meds may help - be careful they have salicylic acid and can burn or sting. I would suggest a visit to a podiatrist or dermatologist for a consultation.

Corn: The term you are using is usually referred to a callous found on the top of a toe joint. Youth ledsion sounds like what is termed an intractable plantar keratoma. Deriding the lesion and pressure reduction works as well as applying a topical medication like sal acid . See your podiatrist or proper assistance. Good luck.
