 Tired of the intense pain that accompanies unsightly corns? As if it wasn’t bad enough that corns ruin the appearance of a beautiful pair of feet, they also have to hurt like hell! Read on for help with coping with corns.
What causes corns?
Corns are essentially nature’s way of protecting your feet, or so nature believes. Just as we develop blisters on our hands after a few days of hard manual labour before the skin on our hands begins to toughen, so also, if any particular part of the foot is under pressure either due to friction or due to uncomfortable footwear, that part will start growing extra skin, to pad the area from the friction or discomfort.
When the extra skin is distributed all over the feet, it is called calluses. But when it is limited to one concentrated area, you have what is called a corn.
If corn is just dead skin, why does it hurt?
This is because the dead skin is in a concentrated area, and it is formed in the shape of a cone, with the point of the cone digging into your foot.
What if I just ignore the corn?
First of all, ignoring the corn will not make it go away. In fact, the problem will only worsen. As more skin keeps growing around the corn, the corn keeps getting pushed deeper and deeper into the skin, which makes it more painful. This will also make removal more difficult.
More often than not, you need to take a serious look at your footwear. Invest in the most comfortable footwear you can afford. Cheap footwear is tempting, but they rarely provide adequate support to your feet and are the most common cause for corns.
Remember, your feet bear your entire body weight – so if you weigh 60 kg, each foot is constantly carrying around with it 30 kg of weight. Squeeze them into uncomfortable shoes and heels, and all this weight is instantly redistributed unevenly around your feet, leading to foot problems. Feet are built extremely tough, so the very fact that they are crying out for help means that they have been subjected to far too much abuse!
Any home remedies?
One of the best home remedies is to soak your feet in warm, salted water for around five to ten minutes. Then apply soap and rub your foot, concentrating on the area around the corn, with a pumice stone, for five minutes. Do this every night, and slowly, the dead skin will soften and come out.
It is not recommended that you try and scrape off the skin with a blade, but if you are confident that you would like to try this quick fix, soak your feet in warm water for ten minutes first, to soften the skin. You can then try to scrape off the corn with a blade very gently. If the corn is too deep, you may not be able to get it all out.
Soak a stale piece of bread in vinegar, place it on the corn, and tape it to your foot. Leave it on overnight. This will help soften the corn.
What’s the commercial remedy?
Apply corn caps on your corns, and within a few days the corns will soften and you will be able to peel them off just like you wax hair. However, these caps contain acid to dissolve the tough skin, so the surrounding skin of your feet may get affected, and get sore and a little tender. To avoid this, you could protect the skin around the corn with cotton before pasting on the corn cap. Skin specialists can also remove corns, so if nothing else works, visit your skin or foot specialist.

Comments: I had a corn 2 years back. I was aroung 18. It was very painfull, but I opted for a small operation, It really worked, It is little painfull but really worth, Doctor just removes (Cuts) the affected part from deep inside, so ther are no changes for it to grow again.
But the thing is that now I have got Another corn in Other leg, I guess corns are some genetic problem cause my Dad also has some. ;)
But I am trying some solutions like SELECTINE or even THUJA but these are temporary removal methods. NO WAY OUT other than surgery

Comments: I did just as it said- I made a little pedicure, soaked my feet in soapy salty warm water, after 10 minutes i took the foot out which had a corn and began scrubbing it with a pumice stone. well that was one month ago. today, one corn is completely gone and the other is almost gone. there's one problem-they're red now!!! i guess it was because of all the scrubbing. PLEASE tell me how to PROPERLY get rid of corns without making it red! it's not irritating or hurting, its just red now. i don't know what to do!?

I hv corns in my right foot 7 and in left foot 2 and 1 in right thumb since 18 years.
i had minor operation 10 yrs back but it didnt work. i went for homepathy thuja q and calendula q applying 6 months and had got some relief but not cured 100% even 1 corn. i had applied corn caps also but it didnt work. i had undergone homeopathy intake medicines from Dr.Bathra for six months that also not worked. I had applied salactin paint for 2 months but this also not worked. All these treatment i went with suggestion of surgeons but failed.
Let me know if anyone can suggest something new for this treatment.

Comments: Hello Every one, I dont know if the thing in my foot is a corn or not...let me tell you what exactly had happened...5 or 6 months back, i had a thorn in my foot. so what i did was i took a safety pin and then tried to remove it....some how i felt that it is not gone...then i bought a new blade and tried to cut or scrap a little and tried to remove the thorn...but accidentally i cut it a little deep...blood oozed out...i stoped doing that...I left my leg and continued with my daily routine...without covering my foot with anything (I think dust got stocked in the wound)....when it got heeled, i tried to open it again with a pin.....as it started paining....so this way, opening and heeling happened for 5 to 6 times from past 5 months....then a corn kind of a thing started growing on my foot...but at the center of the corn, a mass of skin had grown which pained even more. when i used corn caps, with a doctor's suggestion, except for the mass of hard skin at the center of the corn, every thing got removed. after peeling away the hard skin around the mass of skin, it stood out like a small lump....my doctor had cut it away...but it started paining again...and the mass of skin started growing again...please give me a suggestion for this....i am unable to walk...i am scared of surgeries...will they give local anesthesia before cutting it?

It is a slightly painful procedure, if required they will give you a local anesteshia. It will take 34 days for the cut wound to heal. But I am already relieved after 6 months of pain

Comments: Picking and cutting corns is dangerous and can cause infection. You wouldn't want to have a toe surgically removed would you? Buy Dr. Scholls corn pads. The ones with the salycilic acid disc can be cut to fit the thick area. This is covered with the soft pad, also in the package. Also buy the same kind of protective pads to wear when you have on closed in shoes. I have found that it takes about one and one half months of careful buffing with a pumice stone, and and wearing pads as directed to remove corns. Keep your feet well moisturized to reduce friction when you wear enclosed shoes. If you continue wearing the same shoes that rub, corns just come back again.

Take a glass of lukewarm water, add 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1 tbsp honey. Take every day in the morning with empty stomach for 3 months. This process will also detoxify your body. Instead of tying lemon intake of lemon is most effective.

Comments: Here are some home treatments for easing and removing corns
A fresh slice of lemon should be tied over the painful area at night and allowed to remain there the whole night
Half a teaspoon of raw papaya juice may be applied three times a day
For corns between the toes, dab on vitamin E oil and place a clean piece of cotton or a cotton ball over it. Make sure to use 100percent cotton, not synthetic cosmetic puffs. Put on clean white cotton socks and leave them on overnight after treatment.
Vitamin E oil mixed with a crushed garlic clove is good for softening corns and calluses.
Make a compress with hot epsom salts, place on area overnight

Comments: the most effective way of corn removal is CYROSURGERY. It is extremely painful and healing process is 21 days however, the results are worth it. Invest in a good comfortable shoe made of cloth, leave your shoes in the sun a while and make sure you dust them before you wear them. Always protect your feet with small socks and keep feet clean. Your corn will never come back if you care for comfort more than fashion! By the way, I have undergone 2 cyrosurgerys for 2 corns on both feet at the same time. The second time i gathered my guts to go for the cyrosurgery for one corn that was too stubborn. Like the saying goes :no pain, no gain!.

Comments: Well I think there is something to be said about corns and one thing is that some people might have a blood disease or something when you have multiple corns theres a problem seek help professional help God Bless you. The type of corn I have had is in between my two smallest toes. I never even knew what it was. I am in construction and it was time for a new pair of boots. Of course I wear heavy duty boots so to all you who call us idiots for wearing uncomfortable shoes be more polite. So I researched what corns were basically dead skin built up on the toe due to blah blah blah so I decided to cut it slowly from my toe and see how far I could get in the name of science. I have open wounds in hands arms legs from work. Splinters dislocated smashed sore fingers toes blisters you name it so dealing with pain is everyday. I had a scalpel blade which I used a lighter to sterilize and an alcohol wipe to clean then I started cutting along the outside of the dead skin cutting with just the very tip of the scalpel. I cleaned the blade frequently as well as the toe whit alcohol. I removed a top thick layer of skin and began to cut away all the dead skin like removing the dead skin as if ripped from a callus. The dead skin was attached to the corn and once all removed left a open wound which I used peroxide to clean and bandaged with neosporin. This is two weeks into my corn and I will replicate what I did if I ever had to again. Once all the skin was removed I noticed a small tiny white blemish on my flesh which I assume is the corn growing deeper into my toe but wont have a chance.
