‚ÄìSoaking and Exfoliation: Soaking your feet in warm, soapy water can soften the corn. After soaking, use a pumice stone or foot file to gently remove the thickened skin. ‚ÄìMoisturizing: Apply foot cream or lotion to keep the skin soft and prevent further buildup.

How much does bunion surgery usually cost and how long is the recovery time? I have a bunion on my left foot and also flat feet so I'm worried about how it might affect the healing process

Bunion surgery, or bunionectomy, can cost anywhere from ‚Çπ40,000 to ‚Çπ1,50,000 in India, depending on factors like the surgeon's expertise and the hospital. Recovery typically involves avoiding full weight-bearing for 2-4 weeks, with gradual weight-bearing activities introduced as healing progresses.

I'm really concerned because my 7-year-old has developed a corn on her right foot and I'm not sure what to do about it. I'm trying to figure out if it's better to go with laser removal or to stick with the traditional method. My main worry is choosing the option that's the least painful for her. Any advice on which method might be best for someone her age?

laser is pain less
