I'm really worried about my wife's finger. A few months back, she got this tiny hole on the tip, and it hurt to touch, with a small circular thing forming there. The doctor told us to use a corn cap for a week, and that took away the pain and some side skin, but that circle's still hanging around with a tiny dot, just like it was several months ago. We don't see anything stuck in there, so were confused about whether to try the corn cap again or should we consider getting it removed surgically. Could you give some advice on what might be best to do?

I'm trying to figure out when it's best to use this cream and what the benefits are. I'm also wondering if it's okay to use it during the summer months. Could you give me some advice?

It would be helpful if you could provide the name of the cream you are referring to, so I can give you more specific information about its uses and benefits. Additionally, whether a cream can be used in summer depends on its ingredients and formulation. Some creams may be too heavy or occlusive for hot and humid weather, while others may be specifically designed for summer use.
