Today, I finally decided to see a podiatrist (a foot and ankle doctor), to address a stubborn and painful corn on my left foot. After three months of trying various home remedies with no improvement, I decided it was time to seek professional help and have the corn removed by a doctor as every step that I take now is painful.
I called Pantai Medical Centre in Bangsar and Sunway Medical Centre (both hospitals are on my insurer's panel) to inquire about their foot and ankle specialists. Fortunately, both hospitals have experienced podiatrists available. Given that this will be a busy week for me, with Cass competing in a figure skating competition, I plan to only schedule an appointment with the doctor next week.
My primary concern is the method of removal. I am hoping that the podiatrist can offer a less invasive and less painful solution, as the thought of surgery (whether under LA or GA) is quite daunting. Ideally, I would like a procedure that is the least painful and invasive.
Deciding to see a podiatrist wasn't easy. Like many, I initially hoped that home remedies would solve the problem. I tried everything from over-the-counter corn removal solutions to various natural treatments, but the stubborn corn persisted. I successfully removed a corn from one of my toes last year with a corn solution purchased from the pharmacy. I don’t understand why this time the corn solution doesn’t work.
Now that I have decided to see a specialist, my next step is to choose between Pantai Medical Centre and Sunway Medical Centre and secure an appointment. I’m leaning towards whichever center can offer the earliest appointment, as I want to resolve this issue promptly.
