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?

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?

I've had ingrown toenails causing wounds in both toes for almost 3 years now. When I went to the doctor they scheduled surgery but the anesthetic shots were extremely painful - they gave me 8 injections and it still didn't work so they referred me to a bigger hospital. Now I'm really scared of getting those anesthetic injections again. Is there any other way to treat ingrown toenail wounds without injections? What could happen if I don't get treatment for this?

Chronic ingrown toenail needs surgical correction; anesthetic options include nerve block—untreated cases may lead to chronic infection or tissue damage.

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.

Apply a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin to the infected corn to help reduce the chance of a more serious infection.
