I've been having a lot of pain in my toenails, especially around the edges where they're swollen. It really hurts whenever I touch them. Could you tell me what might be going on and what I could do to treat it?

I've had surgery for a foot corn before, but it seems like it's coming back. I'm really hoping to find a permanent solution for this. Is it possible to get rid of it for good with Homeopathy?

It is possible to treat foot corns with homeopathy, but it may require a personalized treatment plan from a skilled homeopath. Addressing the underlying cause, such as pressure or friction, along with constitutional remedies, can help in providing a more lasting solution. However, it's important to consult a professional for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
