Used corn plaster. corn softened. skin around it peeled off. podiatrist said now need to wait for 2 weeks before corn can be removed. is she right?

Not Smart.: I am not quite sure just what is meant by, "removing corn". It seems as though the plaster may have inflamed the tissue and it might be better to wait before you have the toe cut on. Generally, without removing the cause of the corn, ie. underlying bone, fooling with the skin just makes the tissue respond by the corn growing back faster. I guess it all depends on solving the problem or not.
