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'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?

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'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 having some pain in my ankle and I'm worried it might be because of my flat foot. It seems to hurt the most when I get up in the morning or after I've been sitting for a while. Do you think this could be plantar fasciitis? I'm not sure what to do about it.
