Hello there. I can understand your concern. It's possible that the corn is back. As of now. I would say you clean the wound with a betadine solution and apply t-bact ointment. How ever I would suggest you not to delay your visit to the general surgeon for draining out the pus and other management. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
