ask peeps at walgreens, rite aid or ur local pharmacy 4 corn ointment, healing stuff. i use dr scholls healing corn pads. there like mini band aids. although if i doesnt get better u really should c a doctor
I think there’s creams for that as well as foot powder for absorbing sweat or you could pop it with a needle and then use a band-aid.
It’s just thickened skin, usually caused by wearing shoes that are too tight or don’t fit right, or by deformities of the foot that rub against your shoes.
You can file down the callused skin or trim it, if you have a steady hand and a sharp, sterile instrument designed for this reason. Keep the area covered with a corn pad – this prevents additional thickening. Moisturize the areas with Amlactin or something similar every day.
It takes some work, but you can probably do this without seeing a doctor. If you are diabetic, forget everything I just said and go to your doc!
I used a lemon rind chopped finely, place on corn and wrap with a piece of plastic wrap for about 4-5 days. It usually works withing 4 days. The corn will fall off and fresh raw skin will be exposed. Good luck.
