I've been dealing with something weird going on with my foot for the past few months and Im a bit worried. It started with a sharp pain in a specific spot under my right foot and at first, I thought I just stepped on something by accident. But then this small, pea-sized area developed extra layers of skin and eventually formed a kind of hole. Theres no blood or pus, but it hurts a lot when I walk. Oddly, when Im sitting or sleeping, it sometimes feels like nothings wrong. If I poke that spot though, the pain is pretty severe. Ive been walking slowly to avoid putting pressure on it, but now thats messing with my knee. What could this be? Any advice on what I should do?

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 accidentally stepped on a stapler pin recently during a function and it poked my foot. I pulled it out quickly and only had a tiny droplet of blood and a slight pinch. It's been a few days and Im still feeling pain when I walk and its hard to put full pressure on that foot. Theres no sign of an injury or swelling, but the pain is definitely there when I press down. Should I be worried about getting a tetanus shot, or do you think it's a good idea to see a specialist about this?
