I'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 really worried about my toenail. It broke off when I accidentally hit it at home, and quite a bit of blood came out. I bandaged it with Dettol and cotton, but now there's pus forming and Betadyne isn't helping at all. I'm kinda freaking out because the pus just keeps coming. What should I do?
