1. Pumice Stone
pumic stone for corn on feet
Massaging the corn and the nearby area with a pumice stone is an effective remedy. A pumice stone will remove dead, hardened skin, in turn reducing pain and speeding up the recovery time.
- Before going to bed, soak your feet in comfortably hot water for 10 minutes to soften the hard skin.
- Gently rub a pumice stone back and forth across the affected area for three to five minutes and then pat dry your feet.
- Dip a cotton ball in castor oil and place it on the corn. Secure it with tape and leave it on overnight.
- The next morning, remove the bandage and apply castor oil several times a day.
- Repeat the treatment for several days until the corn is fully removed.
2. White Vinegar
White vinegar is another excellent tried and tested remedy for corns on the feet. The high acidity level of white vinegar helps soften the hard skin. Plus, its antifungal and antibacterial properties reduce the risk of infection.
- Before going to bed, mix one part white vinegar with three parts water.
- Dab this diluted vinegar onto the corn.
- Cover the area with an adhesive bandage and leave it on overnight.
- The next morning, exfoliate the thickened skin with a pumice stone or emery board.
- Apply some olive oil or coconut oil to keep the area moisturized.
- Use this remedy once daily until the corn comes out.
