How to Get Rid of Corns

Want to learn how to get rid of corns on your feet? Corns and calluses are thickened areas of skin that result from repeated friction and pressure. They form to protect the skin from injury and/or damage, but can be painful themselves. Calluses on the bottom of the foot thicken over time if they are not removed, and develop into hard corns. Read below to learn how to get rid of your corns.

Step 1: You have a corn or callus, and are not sure how to get rid of it. Well, ask around. Your parents, siblings or even friends may have or have had them too. See what they did and try their techniques. If you still find yourself with bothered feet, keep on reading.

Step 2: There is nothing wrong with home remedies. Tape a slice of lemon over the area causing pain, and leave it on overnight. Or, you can try rubbing the corn with a piece of papaya or pineapple.

Step 3: Herbs can also help with corns. Get a roasted and cooled bulb of Indian squill and hold it over the corn with a bandage overnight. You also can apply green fig juice to it daily until it goes away. Oil of oregano also has been known to work, as well as cider vinegar and then tea tree oil.

Step 4: Eat well. A diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables will help with your corn, and also will keep you healthy in the process.
