Soak your feet
Soak your feet in warm, soapy water for about 10–15 minutes to soften the corn.
EXFOLIATE GENTLY
Use a pumice stone or a foot file to gently remove the dead skin on the corn after soaking. Be careful not to overdo it, as excessive rubbing can cause irritation.
MOISTURSE
Apply a moisturiser or petroleum jelly to keep the area soft and prevent further friction.
Wear comfortable shoes
Avoid tight or ill-fitting shoes that can cause pressure on the corn. Choose shoes that have enough room for your toes.
PROTECTIVE PADDING
Use corn pads or cushioning pads to protect the corn from friction and pressure.
over-the-counter treatments
Use over-the-COUNTER treatments. There are over-the-counter corn removal products like salicylic acid patches that can be helpful.
CONCLUSION
These remedies should only be used when the feet don't hurt or bleed. Consult a doctor before making any changes to your routine.
