Good morning. I have a nagniot on my toe. For 4 days I had a Patch from Compeed prints glued on it. Nagniot decreased a little, but the patch did not fully cope with the task. Should I put on a second patch? The second question: what is the danger of these patches if diabetics are informed about prior consultation with a doctor before using it? Thank you and I wish you all the best!

Please note that corns and blisters are something else. If you used patches for corns, i.e. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/19489/compeed-plastry-na-odciski-na-palcach-plaster/apteki then according to the manufacturer's recommendations, you should leave the patch in place until it begins to peel off (note: the patch may remain in place for several days). If you used this patch and this form did not work, I encourage you to visit a podiatrist and educate about the prevention of such changes (e.g. footwear, which may reduce the chances of an imprint or calluse). "Nagniot", imprint or calluse will return - with proper treatment and prevention you will have "peace" definitely for longer. Diabetics are patients who are at risk of complications related to circulatory and sensory disorders. In the case of a wound, e.g. in the area of the feet, it may not heal easily and quickly as in other people. Therefore, in this group of patients (as well as any other who has a problem with the circulatory system or sensation) should be approached with special attention to changes, wounds, corns, calluses on the feet and implement preventive measures as early as possible. Self-medication is not recommended, which is not consulted with a specialist. I leave a link to the text in which we explain more about how to take care of the feet in diabetics, but in my opinion this advice can also work for people without diabetes. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-wyglada-stopa-cukrzycowa-objawy-i-leczenie
