How to remove corns

Corns are mostly caused by long-term friction. After it happens, the patient must reduce the time of walking and standing as much as possible. If the friction continues for a long time, it will lead to various serious conditions. So in daily life, people should soak their feet in warm water, which can relieve the patient's pain symptoms to a certain extent. If the patient's condition is more serious, use salt to soak his feet.

Corns are caused by friction between the foot and the shoe or even adjacent bones within the foot rubbing against each other. Here are some of the best ways to moisturize, soften and remove corns.

1. Use salt water to relieve pain

If your feet are painful from corns, soak them in a solution of salt and warm water to relieve the pain. Stop stuffing your feet into tight shoes, or your corns will become more painful.

2. Steep chamomile tea

You can soak your heavily calloused feet in very mild chamomile tea, which will soften the hardened skin. Although this tea stain will stain your feet, it can be easily removed with soap and water.

3. Remove thick calluses

Soak your feet in comfortably hot water for a few minutes. Then, use a special callus file to gently rub the affected area to remove the surface hard skin. Follow with hand cream to help break down the hard skin. If you have severe callouses, make this a daily routine, after you shower.

4. Use 5 aspirin tablets

Grind 5 to 6 aspirin tablets into powder, mix the powder with half a teaspoon of water and half a teaspoon of lemon juice into a paste, and then apply it to the thick calloused areas on the feet. Then cover the feet with a plastic bag and then put a warm towel on them. The plastic bag and warm towel will help the medication penetrate deeper into the callus, and you should sit there for at least 10 minutes. Then remove the covering and rub the affected area with a pumice stone; the dead, hardened skin cells should fall off easily.

5. Prevent problems before they happen

When corns first appear, action should be taken immediately. Although your corn is just a small circle that gradually hardens, it may only be slightly painful or painless. You should immediately massage the corn gently with lanolin to soften it and reduce its pressure.

Everyone should know that shoe size has an impact on corns, and the softness of the sole is also an important factor. The soles of good shoes are very soft, so even if you walk a long distance, your feet will not feel uncomfortable and the pain will be reduced. Nowadays, many people don’t use insoles when wearing shoes, and they don’t even wear socks. This direct contact between the feet and shoes can more easily induce corns and aggravate the condition. Get used to wearing insoles, and it’s best to buy handmade cloth insoles to help reduce friction.

Corns are also a disease. Corns are not part of the body. They can cause discomfort to the body, such as pain, etc. But they generally do not lead to any other complications.
