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 dealing with an issue where I've got a corn on my left foot, and it's filled with pus. It's not really painful, but there's pus coming out, and I'm worried it might get infected. This corn popped up in the same spot where I previously had one removed by a doctor. I'm really hoping to avoid another surgery. Could you recommend an ointment or something to help with the infection? Appreciate your advice.

Apply a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin to the infected corn to help reduce the chance of a more serious infection.

My right big toe has a super painful ingrown nail that's driving me crazy. Should I go for surgery or are there other meds or home fixes that could help? The pain is really bad and I'm not sure what to do.

This foot condition usually heals without surgery. In severe cases, your healthcare provider may need to remove part of your nail surgically through a procedure called nail avulsion. Ingrown toenail surgery keeps the edge of your nail from growing inward and cutting into your skin.
