Talk to General Surgeon on Severe Pain After Corn Removal Surgery

I had corn removal surgery on my left foot on 7 July 2025.

Timeline:

7 July: Surgical removal of corn.

21 July: Granulation tissue completed, wound filling well.

28–31 July: Wound almost healed, pink skin with a small maroon patch, no pain, walking normally.

2–3 August: Completely painless, able to climb stairs and run without issues.

7 August: Sudden sharp pain started around the wound area.

9–10 August: Pain worsened severely, even moving my toes causes intense pain across the wound area. Walking is difficult.

11 August: Wound center soft but surrounding area hard; severe pain on touch and pressure.

Previously, corn pain was only on stepping, but now pain is constant and triggered even by toe movement. I am using a donut-shaped cotton pad which gives some walking relief.

I am concerned whether the corn is forming again or if there is another issue in the surgical area. I need quick and effective treatment advice.
