I've been dealing with a weird situation where my left toenail has turned kinda yellowish and bluish, and it's been really painful. There's this sticky yellow liquid that keeps coming out too. It all began after someone accidentally stomped on my foot. What could be going on with my toenail? Should I be worried about it?

View allIs it safe to use corn cap for foot corns if I have diabetes? The pain is really bad when I walk barefoot. Also, if I need minor surgery for this, how many days will it take to heal?
No, using corn caps or other over-the-counter treatments for corns is not recommended if you have diabetes. They can increase the risk of infection, slow healing, and potentially lead to serious foot complications. If you need minor surgery for corn removal, healing typically takes 3 to 7 days

How can I handle an ingrown toenail that's deep in the basecutical area? I've always struggled with ingrown toenails, and I'm getting ready for camp and want to avoid dealing with it there. I attempted cutting the side out but just couldn't do it completely, and now it's worse. I've also soaked it in Epsom salts three times. Any advice on what else I can do?
First, soak your foot in warm water with Epsom salts to help reduce inflammation and soften the skin. Next, gently lift the edge of the ingrown toenail and place a small piece of cotton or dental floss underneath to help it grow above the skin. Apply an antibiotic ointment to prevent infection and cover the toe with a bandage. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. If the ingrown toenail does not improve or becomes more painful, it is important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment. I recommend using Neosporin ointment and covering the toe with a bandage.

My mom is 52 and has had foot corns on both feet since she was 35. At first, it was just a few, but now her whole foot even the upper skin and nails is covered. She can barely walk because of the pain. Is surgery the only option for this? Can foot corns be completely cured or will they keep coming back?
