Can Some Home Remedies Be Done About Corns On The Foot?
Question: My wife has got corns on her foot. Please suggest any remedies for the same.
Brief Answer:
Remedy for corn
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I suggest you to use a topical keratolytic like a Salicylic acid and Lactic acid based lotion e.g. Salactin paint or Duofilm liquid. Use it once daily. Nightly application. First soak feet in lukewarm water for 10-15 minutes and then apply this liquid with the help of the applicator provided with it. It would help breakdown the tough skin of the corn and it would come off in a few weeks. Topical keratolytics are available OTC as well as on prescription.
Regards
