My mom has a corn on her leg and I'm worried about removing it. Some people say minor surgery could cause more corns to grow on her foot while others recommend using corn bandages. What's the best way to treat it without making it worse?

I'm really getting worried because I have these corns on my left leg that just aren't healing, even after more than a month. Can you suggest any medicine that might help?

For corns, you can try using Salicylic Acid topical solution. Apply it directly on the corns once daily for about a week. You can also use a corn plaster containing Salicylic Acid for better results. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for proper usage.
