· Soak your foot in Epsom salts for 10 minutes in hot water; Rub your corn with baby oil, then take a pumice stone and gently rub the outer surface. Be sure not to rub too hard, as this can cause irritation.
· Get better fitting shoes; high heels and shoes that are too tight are one of the main causes of foot corns. Buy shoes that are comfortable and are a good fit. Get your shoe sized by a professional if you need to.
· Cut a clove of garlic into little pieces and add a pinch of salt; keep mashing until it becomes pasty; apply it to your corn and put a band-aid over it for 3 days. When you take the band-aid off, the tough outer skin will come off as well.
· Mash six aspirins and mix in ½ teaspoon of water with ½ teaspoon of lemon juice; mix together and apply to your corns; wrap your foot with plastic wrap or a plastic bag and put a warmed towel around it; leave for 10-15 minutes; unwrap your foot and rub your corn with a pumice stone; the dead skin should easily come off.
· Apply ½ a teaspoon of raw papaya juice on your corns three times a day until it disappears.
· Use a raw pineapple peel and apply directly to your corns. Keep the peel in place by wrapping your foot with a plastic wrap or bag; leave on overnight.
· Try essential oils; use lemon or tangerine essential oil and apply several times a day; castor oil and baby oil are also effective, as well as tea tree oil mixed with cider vinegar.
· Soak your foot in chamomile tea, and then wrap your foot up overnight; the tea will seep in and help soften the outer surface. Rub off the callus with a course towel or callus brush.
Whatever natural remedy you choose, keep in mind that it will most likely take more than one treatment to completely get rid of your corns. It may take a few weeks before they are completely healed. If your corns persist or they are severe, you may have to go to your doctor for a prescription. Hope this helps!
