Hello doctor,
My brother is so worried about some wounds on his leg. I am not sure what they are. They are in his leg since two years and did not go away. He told me that it does not hurt. I am attaching a picture. What are they and will surgery help?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through the images attached by you (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
- It looks like plantar warts. It will not go off by itself. They are best dealt with radiocautery, which is a simple office-based surgery with a cautery machine or by laser. It is a superficial procedure which would be performed by your dermatologist and only local anesthesia is required.
- Wear soft footwear as they are formed due to local pressure.
- Salicylic and lactic acid based lotion can be used topically. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent.
