    It does look like a wart. The over the counter acid for warts doesnt know the difference between wart and good skin. It appears that some of the good skin has been damaged.

Continue to apply the bacitracin and a bandaid. Stop using the peroxide. READ MORE

  • What is wrong with my feet

  • toe

    If your toe is loose, that could be a problem. You may have a broken toe. If its your toenail that's loose, then that isn't a problem. It's common to get blood underneath your toenail when you injure your toe. That causes the nail to loosen from the nail bed. I would cut any part of the nail not attached to the nail bed. If it continues to be a problem, then I would follow up with your local podiatrist. READ MORE

    That's a question you need to ask your surgeon. How many days of rest or nonweightbearing depends on the surgery performed. READ MORE

  • How can I relieve my heel pain?

    The best way to relieve heel pain, whether its on the bottom of the heel, plantar fasciitis, or the back of the heel, achilles tendonitis, is with stretching. There is different stretch for each one. The one for plantar fasciitis is done lying on the ground with leg straight out. Put a towel or belt around the ball of your foot. Pull towards and hold for 10 seconds. Do 2 sets of 10 twice a day. The stretch for achilles tendonitis requires a small step. Stand on the step with your heel hanging off the step. Push the heel towards the floor and hold for 10 seconds. Do 2 sets of 10 twice a day. If the heel doesnt improve in 2-3 weeks, then make an appointment to see your local podiatrist. READ MORE
