Default How the #### do u remove corns????

I have around 5-6 corns only on my left foot for a couple of years now. I stopped playing tennis for awhile because I thought this was the cause, but apparently I still got more corns. I really want to remove them because they just get bigger and worse as time goes. I did a lot of research and I want to clarify this: I am not wearing tight-fitted shoes! I don't know why I keep getting them as I clean my feet every day thoroughly, and I wear a new pair of socks every day, and have well-fitted shoes. I think they come up from a hereditary disease because some of my family also had a bad foot history.

Anyways, I am wondering how to completely get rid of them. I have been using salicylic acid for a long time in those over the counter corn removers, but they haven't done nil except make the area around my corns white. Does anyone have a tried and true way to get rid of corns on your feet?

Are you referring to plantar warts? They are normally treated with salycylic acid.

If they are plantar warts, go to a podiatrist... and if they are not successful removing them with their method(s)... ask them about Cantharidin.

Google it for more info.

get a pedicure.

they shave the corns off then scrub your feet so they're smooth. it's nice, even if you don't get your toenails painted.
