How To Remove Corns On Feet

Do you want to remove corns on feet? You should. Not only are corns ugly, they can cause you a great deal of pain, too. The main cause of corns is wearing shoes that don't fit. Avoid shoes that come to a point or are too tight.  If you don't, corns may form on the tops of your toes or elsewhere on your feet.

To remove corns on feet,  you will need:

• Athletic socks or two pairs of regular socks
• A nail file and/or a pumice stone
• Salicylic Acid
• Corn pads
• Petrolatum Gel 

1. Before you try to remove corns, the first thing you'll want to do is wear athletic socks or two pairs of regular socks. Whatever treatment you try, it's going to take a few weeks to see results, so padding your feet in the meantime is a good idea.
2. To remove corns, use a nail file or pumice stone to get rid of dead skin. This should be done every couple of days until the corn appears smaller.  Please take care and don't scrape too deeply. You don't want to cause bleeding.
3. Purchase an over the counter product called Salicylic Acid as another step to remove corns. This acid opens the pores of your skin and allows new cell growth. Since a corn is just a bunch of dead cells, that makes a lot of sense.
4. Corn pads are a great way to cushion the corn before it goes away.   These pads look like an adhesive bandage, but they have a hole in the middle for the corn to protrude out of after a long day on your feet. So Grandma was right. Those ugly corn pads are helpful when you're trying to remove corns.
5. Use petrolatum gel during the corn removal process. This will have a sealing effect. It also stops germ growth and keeps the area soft.

If you practice good foot care, your feet will be thankful and won't cause you pain. Treat  yourself to a pedicure. The nail person will use techniques and products that will make your feet smooth and soft, all the better to play footsie with somebody. Put foot health ahead of style. It's more important to wear shoes that support your feet and don't rub.
