I've been struggling with this ingrown toenail for ages, but now there's this fluid leaking from the gap between the nail and skin of my toe. It's kind of freaking me out. What can I do about this? Would a dermatologist be the right person to help me out?

An ingrown toenail with fluid oozing can be a sign of infection. You can soak your foot in warm water and Epsom salts to help reduce inflammation and pain. You can also apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area. In case of pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to see a doctor. A dermatologist can help with this issue by providing proper treatment and care, which may include draining the fluid and prescribing antibiotics if necessary.

I've been dealing with a weird situation where my left toenail has turned kinda yellowish and bluish, and it's been really painful. There's this sticky yellow liquid that keeps coming out too. It all began after someone accidentally stomped on my foot. What could be going on with my toenail? Should I be worried about it?

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?

laser is pain less
