Salicylic acid: You can try an over the counter treatment with salicylic acid to soften the corn so it can be rubbed off. But you can also wear proper fitting footwear and use a pumice stone as well. If the corn does not improve after a couple of weeks see your doctor to make sure it really is a corn and not something else.

Chronic irritation: Typically these are called heloma mole, or interdigital corns. Most commonly seen on the lateral (outside) of the 4th toe or the medial (inside) of the 5th toe. Conservative care includes shaving of the callouses or as previously mentioned, salicylic acid to mildly burn it off. Surgically, a quick 15 minute procedure called a condylectomy can be done to keep these from returning.

Corn: As said there are topical treatments . These work temporarily and really are for the vascular compromised patient that cannot have surgery. The way to go is a simple in-office procedure to remove the offending portion of bone . See your podiatrist.
