The Importance of Foot Care: Removing Corn on Foot
Welcome to The Foot Practice, your ultimate destination for comprehensive foot care solutions.

In this article, we will guide you through the process of effectively dealing with corns, providing you with expert advice and actionable tips.
Understanding Corns
Corns are small, hardened areas of skin that typically develop on the feet due to repetitive pressure or friction. They can cause discomfort, pain, and affect your overall mobility. Corns often appear on the tops or sides of toes, between toes, or on the soles of your feet.
The Causes
Corns can be caused by various factors, including:
- Ill-fitting footwear
- High-heeled shoes
- Tight or narrow shoes
- Bone abnormalities
- Foot deformities
Understanding the root cause of your corns is essential in effectively treating and preventing their recurrence.
At-Home Remedies
While it's always best to consult a professional podiatrist for proper diagnosis and treatment, there are some at-home remedies that can provide temporary relief from corns:
- Soak your feet: Soaking your feet in warm water and Epsom salts can help soften the skin, making it easier to remove the excess dead skin.
- Use a pumice stone: Gently rub the corn with a pumice stone to remove the buildup of dead skin. Remember to stop if you experience any pain or discomfort.
- Apply protective padding: Using non-medicated corn pads or moleskin can help reduce friction and pressure on the affected area.
