Patient's question:
Last month, when he started walking, it was already somewhat abnormal. He was limping. When I asked him what was wrong, he said his feet hurt a lot. Only when washing his feet at night did I notice a very hard thing growing under his skin. When I gently pressed it, the child was in pain. It looked like a corn, and it was quite large. Inside, there was a small, dark thing.What kind of assistance is needed: Hello, how should the child's corn be treated better?
Doctor's answer:
When a child suffers from plantar warts, using salicylic acid and trichloroacetic acid is an effective treatment method. After carefully removing the wart and filling the center core, apply a 40% salicylic acid ointment. Remove the ointment after 48 hours, rinse the skin with white vinegar, and then apply a new ointment. Repeat this process until the wart heals and forms a scab. Mixing salicylic acid and lactic acid in a collodion is more effective than ointment. Apply the collodion medication carefully to the removed wart area, let it dry, and repeat daily until fully healed. Before each application, soak the foot for half an hour to enhance the effectiveness, which is particularly effective for plantar warts.
