A thorn got inside the foot and some of it was removed but i doubt there is some of it left inside as it is paining. I'm diabetic & have BP (normal). Can i remove it at home? Which doctor do i consult? General physician or surgeon?

For assessment of whether any thorn part left inside, you should get a HR-USG done of your foot. You need to consult with a Surgeon for further management.
