DO NOT USE CORN PLASTERS!!!
​​
This video highlights the potential dangers associated with medicated corn removers.​
​
Recently, we treated a patient who experienced severe skin damage after using a corn plaster purchased from a local pharmacy. The salicylic acid in the plaster caused a burn that extended almost to the bone. We immediately referred her to her GP for urgent care.​
​
We've initiated discussions with the retail pharmacy to raise awareness about the risks of selling these products without proper podiatric guidance. It's crucial to understand that while corn plasters are readily available, their misuse can lead to serious complications.​
​
We highly recommend watching the video above before attempting any self-treatment. Being informed about the risks can prevent potential harm.​
​
Always consult with a qualified podiatrist before using such treatments to ensure your safety and well-being.
