I'm dealing with a corn on the corner of my foot and it's really bothering me. Who should I see to get proper treatment for this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
You can use over-the-counter medications like salicylic acid (found in products like Compound W or Dr. Scholl's Corn Removers) to treat foot corns. Apply the medication as directed on the package, usually once daily. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully for best results. The appropriate specialist for this ailment would be a Dermatologist.

I've been dealing with ingrown toenails for the past two years and it's getting really painful. Who should I see for toenail removal surgery, how long does it take to recover, and what's the usual cost for this procedure
For an ingrown toenail that's been problematic for two years and is now painful, you should consult a podiatrist or a general surgeon for toenail removal surgery. Recovery can take four to six weeks if part of the nail is removed, and 10 to 12 weeks if the entire nail is removed. The cost of the procedure can range from ‚Çπ2,500 to ‚Çπ15,000 in India

I'm a bit worried about something. About six months ago, I got a small splinter in my foot, and I'm not sure if it ever came out. Oddly, I didn't feel any pain or discomfort for weeks, maybe even months. But just recently, I've been getting this irritating feeling, like the splinter might still be there, especially when I'm walking or even just sitting around. Could it still be inside my foot somehow? What could be causing this irritation now?
It is possible that the splinter may still be embedded in your foot, causing irritation and discomfort. I would recommend using a pair of tweezers sterilized with alcohol to carefully remove the splinter. After removing the splinter, clean the area with antiseptic solution and apply an antibiotic ointment. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to help with any pain or inflammation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
