My corn is a couple months old but I'm a bit confused whether it's actually a corn or a wart. If it is a corn, what can I do to get rid of it? Would I need surgery for this?

Corn can often be treated with padding and salicylic acid; surgery only if pain persists or diagnosis unclear.

I'm considering using Dr. Reddy's Minoxidil topical solution USP 2 for hair regrowth, but I'm not sure if I need to see a doctor for a prescription first. Is it safe to start using it on my own, or do I really need to check with a healthcare professional? I've read a bit about it but want to be certain about any risks or side effects I should be aware of. Would really appreciate your advice!

Dr Reddys Minoxidil 5.. is advised to the patient.
