Diabetic and corns

I am a diabetic. Does one need antibiotics when removing corns or calluses?

Corns and calluses are basically thickened skin and can either be cut or gradually polished gradually with a pumice stone. There is no need for antibiotics unless your provider has cut very deep and caused an infection. If you are a diabetic, I would not recommend going to spa or salon for removal of corns. Even a small infection can quickly turn florid and result in an amputation of a digit.

You should know that many of these places re-use instruments and have no concept of sterility-meaning they can’t tell the mouth from the arse. Definitely not recommended.
