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?

- Feeling pulses in the inner area of your foot can sometimes be normal, especially if you are young and physically active. However, if this sensation is persistent or accompanied by other symptoms such as pain, swelling, or discoloration, it may be a sign of an underlying issue. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation. 2) If you are concerned, your healthcare provider may recommend tests such as a Doppler ultrasound to assess blood flow in the foot, or a nerve conduction study to evaluate nerve function. These tests can help determine the cause of the pulsations and rule out any potential underlying conditions.

View allI'm having some pain in my ankle and I'm worried it might be because of my flat foot. It seems to hurt the most when I get up in the morning or after I've been sitting for a while. Do you think this could be plantar fasciitis? I'm not sure what to do about it.

How can I handle an ingrown toenail that's deep in the basecutical area? I've always struggled with ingrown toenails, and I'm getting ready for camp and want to avoid dealing with it there. I attempted cutting the side out but just couldn't do it completely, and now it's worse. I've also soaked it in Epsom salts three times. Any advice on what else I can do?
First, soak your foot in warm water with Epsom salts to help reduce inflammation and soften the skin. Next, gently lift the edge of the ingrown toenail and place a small piece of cotton or dental floss underneath to help it grow above the skin. Apply an antibiotic ointment to prevent infection and cover the toe with a bandage. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. If the ingrown toenail does not improve or becomes more painful, it is important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment. I recommend using Neosporin ointment and covering the toe with a bandage.

I'm really worried about this corn that's been on my foot for about 34 months. At first, I thought it was just an injury, but a friend mentioned it might be a corn. I've noticed small dots appearing on my toes too. I tried using corn caps twice for 3 days each time, and it only caused white and yellow patches, but the corn itself didnt go away. I'm really worried now and dont want to consider surgery since I've heard its not a permanent solution. What else can I try to get rid of this?
