hello i have been thinking about getting a corn surgically removed off of my baby toe. it's the only one i have and it seems to get bigger and bigger. i haven't seen a doctor yet and just wanted to know which kind of doctor to see so i would'nt have to see to many. I also would like to know what happens usually during the process and what the healing time is
oh hell sorry to hear you have the nightmare, i have had these terrible things on my feet for around 30 years i have seen every doctor in the book and had every opperation done including having them medically removed 4 times which was a waste of time and a lot of pain, since that time i have had them scraped, frozen, lazared, DO NOT HAVE THEM SURGICLY REMOVED it cannot be done the doctors will say yes i can remove that but when you wake up and look you will still see the core as i did and have to have your foot packed with 1 meter of gause pending on how big they are and how much of your foot the doctor will remove, i crawled around like a dog, for nothing, the best treatment i have found will help it feel better but wont remove it see a podiatrist and have the scraped down so you cant feel them, sorry about the bad news but its true and please trust what i am saying its from experiance

I can honeslty say i have one removed 4 times on the ball of my foot, yes it is pain ful and they pack a roll of gauze in it, and i needed a nurse to come everyday and change it, it was about 2 months to completely heal up but i went to a podiatrist paid 60 bux a month and he did NOTHING but get rich off me so i stopped going. I did find the surgery helped more

Thank you for you post, I have a few question. Who performed the surgery, a podiatrist or plastic surgeon? I went to see a podiatrist and he told that I will get a scar on my foot after the surgery. Im afraid of how big the scar would be. How long were you wearing the boot? Do you think I will be able to get on my heels in a month? (everyone is different, I understand) For the scars did you use any medication?
Do you think I should go see a different doctor?
Thank you!

I got my corn removed surgically on my right little toe on October 13, 2012. I still daily have severe burning/nerve pain when I wear shoes for along period of time. I wasn't in pain before the surgery. I don't know if it is because I run a lot and I am on my feet for work a lot but it is not fun.
I woudl seriously weigh your options before getting it removed. I wish I had never gotten the surgery because I am in more pain now than I ever was with the corn.
I will say the pain comes an goes week by week. Some days are better than others but it's definitely not the way I want to live.
Good Luck!
