I've been dealing with this issue where I pulled an edge of my toenail, and it's been really painful and swollen ever since. I tried to fix it by cutting the corner of the nail that was digging into the skin, and I thought it was better. But the pain is still there, and it's been going on like this for about 23 weeks now. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and how I can get some relief?

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 a bit worried about something. About six months ago, I got a small splinter in my foot, and I'm not sure if it ever came out. Oddly, I didn't feel any pain or discomfort for weeks, maybe even months. But just recently, I've been getting this irritating feeling, like the splinter might still be there, especially when I'm walking or even just sitting around. Could it still be inside my foot somehow? What could be causing this irritation now?
It is possible that the splinter may still be embedded in your foot, causing irritation and discomfort. I would recommend using a pair of tweezers sterilized with alcohol to carefully remove the splinter. After removing the splinter, clean the area with antiseptic solution and apply an antibiotic ointment. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to help with any pain or inflammation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
