Corn in leg

2016-07-24 13:23:01
I have a corn in leg. Firstly I have used corn cap. And after some days, I was using a salicylic acid and lactic acid component rich medicine in the affected portion after rubbing. But it is looking terrible. I have attached the photo of the affected portion. Please advise. Thanks in advance.
