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?

View allI've got this corn on my left foot, and I'm wondering if using a corn cap will help it go away, or do you think it's better to see a doctor? I've also attached a picture of it for reference.
Corn caps can be effective in treating corns. You can try using a corn cap containing salicylic acid. Make sure to follow the instructions on the package. Apply it as directed, usually for a few days, to help soften the corn and eventually remove it. If the corn persists or if you experience any pain, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm really worried about my toenail. It broke off when I accidentally hit it at home, and quite a bit of blood came out. I bandaged it with Dettol and cotton, but now there's pus forming and Betadyne isn't helping at all. I'm kinda freaking out because the pus just keeps coming. What should I do?
I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin, applying it to the affected area twice a day. In addition, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight shoes that may cause further irritation. If the infection does not improve or if you develop a fever, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and possible prescription antibiotics.
