Question

I'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.

Question

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?
