Corns and Calluses

A callus (tyloma) is an area of skin that thickens after exposure to repetitive frictional forces in order to protect the skin. A corn is a smaller type of callus that commonly develops on top of, and between, toes. Corns are separated into soft and hard corns. Both calluses and corns may or may not be painful. When it becomes painful, treatment is required.

Cause 

 ❄ A thick, rough area of skin
❄ A hardened, raised bump
❄ Tenderness or pain under your skin
❄ Flaky, dry or waxy skin

Symptoms

 ❄ Wearing ill-fitting shoes
❄ Skipping socks
❄ Playing instruments or using hand tools

Treatment

 1. Pumice Stone:
Since corns and calluses are composed of dead skin, rubbing the area with a pumice stone is effective in alleviating the symptoms. Remember to soak your foot in warm water first and then rub with a pumice stone.

2. Vinegar:
Before bed, soak a cotton ball with vinegar and attach it to the affected area, leaving it on overnight. The following day, use a pumice stone to rub the corn away.

3. Baking Soda:
Add two to three tablespoons of baking soda to a basin of warm water. Soak your feet in this solution for 10 to 15 minutes. Rub the affected area with a pumice stone to remove the dead skin.

4. Moisturize:
Apply moisturizer to the affected areas in order to keep the skin soft.

5. Lemon:
Apply fresh lemon juice on the corn and allow it to air dry. Do this at least three times daily.

6. Garlic:
Rub half of a garlic clove on the corn. Let the skin dry, cover it with a bandage and leave it on overnight. The next morning, remove the bandage and wash your feet with warm water. Do this every night until the corn disappears.
