Corns

Aug 23, 2008 13:14

I've managed to develop corns on both feet between my pinkie toe and the one next to it (on the one next to it). I know that the only way to really get them to go away is not to wear constricting shoes, but I don't know which shoes did it to me-and I can't go by what shoes hurt, because they hurt at random-even barefoot. So what I'm looking for ( Read more... )

actually corn removers, the generic brand from walgreens, gets rid of them completely. i know it isnt natural..so i shouldnt even be posting it, but if i had to be on my feet all day with them..id do whatever it takes. good luck & i hope you get natural solutions from all the wonderful people here ♥

I'm good with gone, really. I have seen corn pads, but don't recall removers specifically. I'll take a look before work today.

yes if i had the box, id let you know exactly what they are called..but the generic walgreens works better than the name brand, in my opinion. they are little circle bandade like pieces with medicine and that you put on them. i hope you find them xx

Yeah, I managed to develop corns on both feet right where the pinkie toes join the main part of the foot, and they hurt when I walked. The only thing that got rid of them was corn remover pads. I used Life brand from Shoppers Drug Mart. (They were about half the price of Dr. Scholl's corn remover pads).
My aunt said that if you soak a piece of cotton in vinegar, tape it to your foot and leave it all night, that it softens the corn enough to remove it, but I tried it and the cotton dried up before it had a chance to do anything. Corn remover pads are your best bet.

Have you seen a podiatrist?

It can be dangerous to just file them because there's a huge chance of infection -- even with using TTO and lavender. Doing what amounts to surgery on yourself is really not a good idea.

Srsly. As a nail tech, go to the doctor.. I've seen so many ppl crippled b/c they did not go to the podiatrist in the first place.
