My fiance has a sporadic angiokeratoma on his foot (about 1 inch by two inches) that is often quite swollen and painful. We are looking into surgery as an option of improving his quality of life (it makes it difficult for him to stand for long periods and limits the shoes he can wear), but I am hoping to find a treatment to help reduce his pain in the meantime. He currently takes an OTC anti-inflammatory for pain, and we prop up the affected foot whenever we can. Any suggestions?
Hello, I really don't think there's a non-surgical option for this and NSAIDs increase bleeding should that occur. There are a LOT of surgical options including just squirting a coagulant into it. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
