Corn feet, need to take treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I can understand that corns can be very painful .
You can start application of topical keratolytic lotion like duofilm lotion over the affected area at night daily .
Soak the feet in warm water for ten minutes before applying the lotion and scrub them slightly with a pumice stone and then apply the medicine.
Continue the above treatment regularly for at least four to six weeks for complete treatment.
In addition, wear soft canvas shoes to prevent any further friction to the feet.

I am sure this will help you
