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?

Question

Hey, I'm a 23-year-old and lately, I've been noticing these pulses on the inner part of my foot. It's been a few days now, and I can't figure out whether it's normal or if it's linked to stress or something else. Should I be worried about this? Are there any specific tests or checks that you'd suggest I go through to figure out what's happening?

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?
