‚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.

I'm having a lot of pain in my right leg because of an issue with my thumbnail. I can't even touch it or trim the nail because it's gotten under the skin. What should I do to fix this?

Ingrown toenails can be quite painful; consider consulting a doctor, preferably a dermatologist

I've had ingrown toenails causing wounds in both toes for almost 3 years now. When I went to the doctor they scheduled surgery but the anesthetic shots were extremely painful - they gave me 8 injections and it still didn't work so they referred me to a bigger hospital. Now I'm really scared of getting those anesthetic injections again. Is there any other way to treat ingrown toenail wounds without injections? What could happen if I don't get treatment for this?

Chronic ingrown toenail needs surgical correction; anesthetic options include nerve block‚Äîuntreated cases may lead to chronic infection or tissue damage.

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?
