I'm using Salactin paint for the corn on my foot, but it's not helping much. There's still some pus and pain. What's going on, and what should I do next?

I'm curious about whether it's better to soak my feet in hot or cold water. Are there specific times or conditions where one is more beneficial than the other? Also, how long should I be soaking my feet to see benefits, and could there be any side effects I should be worried about? Any suggestions would be really helpful.

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 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?
