View allI've got this corn on my left foot, and I'm wondering if using a corn cap will help it go away, or do you think it's better to see a doctor? I've also attached a picture of it for reference.
Corn caps can be effective in treating corns. You can try using a corn cap containing salicylic acid. Make sure to follow the instructions on the package. Apply it as directed, usually for a few days, to help soften the corn and eventually remove it. If the corn persists or if you experience any pain, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Is it safe to use corn cap for foot corns if I have diabetes? The pain is really bad when I walk barefoot. Also, if I need minor surgery for this, how many days will it take to heal?
No, using corn caps or other over-the-counter treatments for corns is not recommended if you have diabetes. They can increase the risk of infection, slow healing, and potentially lead to serious foot complications. If you need minor surgery for corn removal, healing typically takes 3 to 7 days
