Can you surgically remove a corn/toe scar? (Photo)

s.serranoDec 18, 2017
I have a dark spot on my toe I've been struggling basically all my life, endless attempts have been made to get rid of it including exfoliating, glycolic acid and salicylic acid patches aka dr Scholls corn remover. All those things have left me with something that now looks like an swollen scar Also, my third toe opens when I step and I also dislike that very much. I was hoping there was a surgical option to get rid of both issues, with whom and how much the cost was. Thank you so much

It sounds like you have an underlying teathered scar that goes into the muscle. The procedure you will need will go underneath the skin to release it. I recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon to fix this.

Start with PRP, Plato's Scar Serum, fillers, and surgical scar revision with subcision to help improve your laparoscopy scars. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
