I've had a foot corn for over a year now that won't go away no matter what I try, even used Watnil solution without success. Is surgery the only permanent fix for this or are there other long-term solutions that actually work? I'm worried it might keep coming back even after treatment.

While surgery can be an option, it's not always the first or only choice for a persistent foot corn. Other long-term solutions, like addressing the underlying causes and using professional treatments, can also be effective.

View allI've been dealing with a heel spur for the past 4 months and it's not healing even with homeopathic treatment. As someone with diabetes and hypertension, I'm worried about complications. Are there any effective non-surgical treatments I can try for this stubborn heel spur?
Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

Hey, I'm a 23-year-old and lately, I've been noticing these pulses on the inner part of my foot. It's been a few days now, and I can't figure out whether it's normal or if it's linked to stress or something else. Should I be worried about this? Are there any specific tests or checks that you'd suggest I go through to figure out what's happening?
1) Feeling pulses in the inner area of your foot can sometimes be normal, especially if you are young and physically active. However, if this sensation is persistent or accompanied by other symptoms such as pain, swelling, or discoloration, it may be a sign of an underlying issue. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation. 2) If you are concerned, your healthcare provider may recommend tests such as a Doppler ultrasound to assess blood flow in the foot, or a nerve conduction study to evaluate nerve function. These tests can help determine the cause of the pulsations and rule out any potential underlying conditions.

I'm dealing with a corn on the corner of my foot and it's really bothering me. Who should I see to get proper treatment for this?
You can use over-the-counter medications like salicylic acid (found in products like Compound W or Dr. Scholl's Corn Removers) to treat foot corns. Apply the medication as directed on the package, usually once daily. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully for best results. The appropriate specialist for this ailment would be a Dermatologist.
