I have fluid-filled vesicular eruptions on the sole of my right foot that are very tender and painful. My doctor said they are warts and corns. The pain is severe. What is the best way to treat this condition and get relief?
Painful lesions on the sole, diagnosed as warts or corns, can be very uncomfortable, especially while walking. Warts are caused by a viral infection, while corns develop due to repeated pressure or friction. To reduce pain, wear soft, well-cushioned footwear and avoid tight shoes. Do not cut or pick the lesions yourself, as this can worsen pain or cause infection. Treatments like salicylic acid preparations can help gradually remove the thickened skin, but they should be used carefully under medical advice. If the pain is severe or not improving, your doctor may suggest procedures such as paring, cryotherapy (freezing), or other minor treatments for quicker relief. Regular follow-up and proper foot care are important to prevent recurrence.
