Home Remedies to Remove Corn

Corn is the least thing you would ever tolerate on your feet. It not only makes movement uncomfortable but it is also quite painful if not treated in time. In this post I offer you top 5 home remedies to remove corn, a skin ailment usually caused due to ill-fitting shoes, high heels and also exposure of feet to rugged surfaces.

And if not treated early then corn may lead to hardening of skin which further worsens the condition. This hardening of skin eventually converts into corn.

While small surgery can remove the corn, there are over-the-counter-ointments and specially designed band-aids for treating corns. However, these are not as easily available and convenient as home remedies. Even though these remedies are not of immediate effect but cures corns permanently and softens the hardened skin.

Go through these easy home remedies and get rid of corn!

1. White vinegar

White vinegar is common in all Indian kitchens. Apart from improving the taste of any dish, white vinegar is a superb tried and tested remedy for corn on foot.

Method: All you need to do is to take a medicated cotton ball and dip in vinegar and then place the cotton on the corn and secure its position with a duct tape. Leave it for 3-4 hours and then remove the tape.

Now let the dampened corn dry for 30 minutes and then repeat the process. Follow this home remedy twice a day for period of 2 weeks and then you can reduce it to once in a day for a week. After that you’ll notice the corn has fallen off and the skin is also healed up.
