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?

Question

How can I handle an ingrown toenail that's deep in the basecutical area? I've always struggled with ingrown toenails, and I'm getting ready for camp and want to avoid dealing with it there. I attempted cutting the side out but just couldn't do it completely, and now it's worse. I've also soaked it in Epsom salts three times. Any advice on what else I can do?

Question

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?

Question

I've got this corn on my left foot, and I'm wondering if using a corn cap will help it go away, or do you think it's better to see a doctor? I've also attached a picture of it for reference.
