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?

I'm a bit worried about something. About six months ago, I got a small splinter in my foot, and I'm not sure if it ever came out. Oddly, I didn't feel any pain or discomfort for weeks, maybe even months. But just recently, I've been getting this irritating feeling, like the splinter might still be there, especially when I'm walking or even just sitting around. Could it still be inside my foot somehow? What could be causing this irritation now?

It is possible that the splinter may still be embedded in your foot, causing irritation and discomfort. I would recommend using a pair of tweezers sterilized with alcohol to carefully remove the splinter. After removing the splinter, clean the area with antiseptic solution and apply an antibiotic ointment. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to help with any pain or inflammation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
