Corn: I am assuming you are asking about toes as corns usually refers to that. A corn in a callous is a misnomer. The corn is a callous but may have a harder center than the rest of the callous. This is caused by the toes rubbing /lining up incorrectly/ bone spurs as well as bunions puttind pressure on the toes. A podiatrist will help you . Good luck !

Pumice Stone: Use properly fitting shoes with a roomy toe-box. Try using a pumice stone. If you are diabetic or have poor circulation, you should have it taken care of by your podiatrist.

Not that easy.: It really depends on the location. The toe is the likely place and the callus is more than likely due to either shoes or positional changes in the toe. The treatment options for successful resolution can be addressed by a foot specialist.
