Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I appreciate your concern.
It is difficult to dissolve corn present in foot by means of Epsom salt or by use of corn caps. It may reduce in size, but does not disappear completely. Sometimes there us a risk that it may get infected.
Best remedy would be its excision by chemical cautery or electro cautery. Kindly visit Dermatologist for its management.
Wish you good health.
