You can use over-the-counter medications like salicylic acid (found in products like Compound W or Dr. Scholl's Corn Removers) to treat foot corns. Apply the medication as directed on the package, usually once daily. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully for best results. The appropriate specialist for this ailment would be a Dermatologist.

Question

I've been dealing with this issue where I pulled an edge of my toenail, and it's been really painful and swollen ever since. I tried to fix it by cutting the corner of the nail that was digging into the skin, and I thought it was better. But the pain is still there, and it's been going on like this for about 23 weeks now. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and how I can get some relief?

I'm curious about whether it's better to soak my feet in hot or cold water. Are there specific times or conditions where one is more beneficial than the other? Also, how long should I be soaking my feet to see benefits, and could there be any side effects I should be worried about? Any suggestions would be really helpful.
