I'm having a lot of pain in my right leg because of an issue with my thumbnail. I can't even touch it or trim the nail because it's gotten under the skin. What should I do to fix this?

Question

I'm dealing with an issue where I've got a corn on my left foot, and it's filled with pus. It's not really painful, but there's pus coming out, and I'm worried it might get infected. This corn popped up in the same spot where I previously had one removed by a doctor. I'm really hoping to avoid another surgery. Could you recommend an ointment or something to help with the infection? Appreciate your advice.

Question

I've had surgery for a foot corn before, but it seems like it's coming back. I'm really hoping to find a permanent solution for this. Is it possible to get rid of it for good with Homeopathy?
