How Do I Treat and Prevent Corns?
How do I treat and prevent corns? Are there any home remedies that you recommend?
The best way to avoid corns is to try to prevent them in the first place. Corns result from dry skin that builds up on your toes. The main culprit for corns is constant friction, or rubbing caused by wearing shoes that are too tight. Wearing comfortably fitting shoes is the best way to prevent corns. Alternating high heels with sneakers, flats, or shoes with a smaller heel will do wonders in preventing corns and keeping your feet beautiful.
If you already have corns, there are several ways to treat them. Soak your feet for 15 minutes in a warm water basin. Then dry your feet with a towel and use a pumice stone to file away at your corns. For a home remedy, soak a cotton ball with apple cider vinegar or chamomile tea and apply to your corns. Then cover each corn with a band-aid or duct tape. If all else fails, see a podiatrist.
