For corns between the toes, dab on vitamin E oil and place a clean piece of cotton or a cotton ball over it. Make sure to use 100-percent cotton, not synthetic cosmetic puffs. Put on clean white cotton socks and leave them on overnight after treatment. Vitamin E oil mixed with a crushed garlic clove is good for softening corns and calluses.
Never use a knife or any sharp instrument to cut the hardened area away, as infection can result.
Always wear properly fitting shoes.
CONSIDERATIONS
Compresses made from hot Epsom salts or Foot therapy solution from Para Laboratories/Queen Helene are good.
Medicated pads are available that are supposed to treat corns and calluses. Most of these products are fairly aggressive, however, and may attack good tissue as well, provoking an allergic reaction.
If you suffer from diabetes, you may need to consult a doctor or podiatrist. In people with diabetes, poor circulation can lead to problems with the feet. You should also consult a professional if the area becomes infected.
If the problem is persistent, a physician may suggest an x-ray to rule out an underlying bone spur.
