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?

View allI'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 heel spur for the past 4 months and it's not healing even with homeopathic treatment. As someone with diabetes and hypertension, I'm worried about complications. Are there any effective non-surgical treatments I can try for this stubborn heel spur?
Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

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
