I'm having a lot of pain in my right leg because of an issue with my thumbnail. I can't even touch it or trim the nail because it's gotten under the skin. What should I do to fix this?

Question

I'm really concerned because my 7-year-old has developed a corn on her right foot and I'm not sure what to do about it. I'm trying to figure out if it's better to go with laser removal or to stick with the traditional method. My main worry is choosing the option that's the least painful for her. Any advice on which method might be best for someone her age?

Question

I've got this corn on my left foot, and I'm wondering if using a corn cap will help it go away, or do you think it's better to see a doctor? I've also attached a picture of it for reference.

Question

I accidentally stepped on a stapler pin recently during a function and it poked my foot. I pulled it out quickly and only had a tiny droplet of blood and a slight pinch. It's been a few days and Im still feeling pain when I walk and its hard to put full pressure on that foot. Theres no sign of an injury or swelling, but the pain is definitely there when I press down. Should I be worried about getting a tetanus shot, or do you think it's a good idea to see a specialist about this?
