how to get rid of soft corn inside my little toe? over the counter drugs/creams??

Accepted Answer

Best way is : To visit podiatrist who will confirm your diagnosis and offer you a permanent solution. The problem with creams is that you are talking about acid that may burn your skin and be dangerous. A podiatrist can cut the corn painlessly with a scalpel.

Question 5

is there any homeopathic medicine to cure foot corn i am having a foot corn under my foot thumb, i am applying corn/callous removers from last 1 month but its not helping , now from last one week i realized that some more small corns are   coming up near

Accepted Answer

First, : First, i would make sure it is a corn as opposed to a callus.  Corns are caused by too much pressure in combination with friction.  They are essentially the bodies way of protecting the area from the pressure and friction.  Calluses are more diffuse whereas corns are more cone-like thickenings.  The most homeopathic treatment would be to make sure your footwear is appropriate and not putting too much pressure on certain areas of your foot.  Beyond that, traditional measures can help combined with finding a good podiatrist.  I hope that helps.
