    What is the treatment for Corn?

    Following are the treatment measures that are used in treating corn:

    • Trimming Away Excess Skin: The doctor may trim the corn by shaving the dead skin with a scalpel. This must be done by a professional and not at home as it may lead to unnecessary infections and complications.
    • Soaking Feet: One can soak the feet in water regularly and use a pumice stone or callus file to soften and reduce the size of the corn.
    • Padding: Wearing a donut-shaped pad over the corn can help reduce the pressure exerted on it and reduce the irritation caused by that.
    • Lamb Wool Cushion: Using a bit of lamb’s wool between the toes where the corn is will help cushion the corn and reduce the irritation.
    • Right Shoes: Wearing the right shoes is extremely important as there are a number of problems that can be prevented by wearing the right shoes, and corn is one of them.
