Method 1: Basic autonomy
1, wear comfortable shoes. Corns are caused by squeezing and rubbing toes, and shoes that are too tight or uncomfortable may be the culprit behind them. One of the most important things you need to do is to stay away from shoes that put pressure on your toes in order to prevent the proliferation of corns and alleviate their condition. Ideally, wear shoes that can wear socks as much as possible. Socks can bring relief to toes, thus reducing the friction that causes corns or makes them worse.
Avoid wearing high heels, especially pointed ones.
2. Put foam plugs between toes to reduce squeezing. When you get home and take off your shoes, you can put a foam pedicure comb between your toes to reduce the pressure between your toes. You can also try a pair of foam pedicure slippers or sandals. This kind of shoes will put a plug between your toes to separate them and prevent them from rubbing against each other when you walk.
3. Apply foot powder between your toes. Foot-refreshing powder can absorb water. So that the corns on your toes won't be so stinging or inflamed. Sprinkle foot powder on your toes and between your toes before wearing socks and shoes. You can also sprinkle foot powder repeatedly when you feel sweating between your toes.
4. Gently grind the thickened skin with pumice. Soak your feet in lukewarm soapy water for 20 minutes to soften your skin. Then gently grind the corns with pumice to remove the hardest skin on the surface. You can also choose nail sandfile instead of pumice. If the corns grow between the toes, it is difficult to grind them with pumice. At this time, nail sandfile or nail file can be used instead.
5. Use ice cubes to relieve discomfort. If the corns keep swelling and discomfort, you can apply an ice pack or ice cubes to the swollen area to relieve the swelling pain. Ice can't cure corns, but it can relieve the pain caused by corns.
Method 2: Home medication.
1, try over-the-counter corn ointment or liquid medicine. Most over-the-counter drugs contain a small amount of salicylic acid, which can dissolve the horniness of chicken eyes and the hardened, shell-like skin on them. One disadvantage of using over-the-counter drugs is that this acid will damage healthy skin while removing the infected skin of corns, so if you overuse these ointments, you may do more harm.
People with diabetes, susceptible constitution and thin skin can't use acid ointment.
Follow the instructions on the label to use ointment or other local remedies.
2. Use corn pad or corn paste. These patches are like adhesive bandages, so they can relieve corns on toes, but they also contain a little salicylic acid. The best corn pads and corn stickers are circular. This can relieve corns while keeping moisture and softening corns, thus relieving discomfort.
Because these pads contain some acidic ingredients, they can't be used with other drugs at the same time. If you want to wrap the corns after using other medicines, make sure that the corns pad or patch you use does not contain salicylic acid or use an ineffective adhesive bandage.
Method 3: Alternative treatment methods
1, soften corns with castor oil. Softening corns can relieve pain or discomfort, and make the infected parts of corns fall off more easily. Coat a cotton ball with castor oil. Leave the oil on the corns for 3 to 4 minutes, then rinse and peel off the parts.
Repeat this step three times a day.
2. Use a laxative bubble. Adding some laxative or coarse salt to soak feet can speed up the softening process. Coarse salt is also a kind of soft abrasive, so soaking feet with coarse salt water can not only soften corns, but also peel off dead skin and dry skin.
Dissolve125ml of laxative in 8 liters of warm water and soak your feet for 20 to 30 minutes.
After soaking, gently grind the corns with pumice to make as many dead skins fall off as possible.
3. Use crushed aspirin. Aspirin and salicylic acid. You can crush aspirin and apply it to the corns to dissolve the horniness and dead skin at the top. Crush an aspirin and add a few drops of water to form a paste.
Apply this ointment to the corns of your toes. Apply for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse off with warm water, and finally dry.
4. Make baking soda ointment. Made into paste with baking soda, lime juice and water, this ointment can speed up the process of curing corns. Mix a few drops of lime juice, a little water and about 5 ml of baking soda. Stir until a paste is formed and apply it to the corns. Wrap it in a bandage and rinse it off the next morning. This will kill the corns in four to six days.
You can also choose to add 30 to 45 ml of baking soda to a bucket of water. Soak feet/kloc-0.5 to 20 minutes with this solution, and then rub corns with pumice.
You can also add a few drops of water to baking soda to form a paste. Apply this ointment to the corns and bandage them overnight. Wash it off the next day.
5. Soak your feet with chamomile tea. When you dry the sweat between your toes, chamomile can relieve your discomfort and adjust the pH value of your skin, thus speeding up your recovery. You can apply a moist and warm chamomile tea bag to the corns for 1 to 3 hours.
You can also soak your feet in diluted chamomile tea 15 to 20 minutes.
When you finish one of the methods, you can try to grind off some corns with pumice or nail sand files.
6. Take a little diluted vinegar on the corns. Vinegar is a hemostatic agent, so it can dry the skin to death, so that you can wear it off with pumice or nail file. Dilute the vinegar at a ratio of 1 3.
Apply vinegar solution to corns, and wrap them with adhesive bandage or rubber pad for one night.
The next morning, use pumice or nail file to grind off the thickened skin.
7. Use mashed papaya. Papaya can relieve the pain or discomfort caused by corns and help to speed up the drying and shedding of corns. Cut a papaya and mash it with a fork. Apply the mashed papaya directly to the corns, wrap it with adhesive bandage or rubber pad, and apply it overnight.
You should be able to peel off the corns the next morning. This method can sometimes make the corns fall off by themselves.
8. Use green flower juice and mustard oil. Green flower juice can soften corns and make them peel off more easily, while mustard oil can kill bacteria and prevent infection. Use green flower-free juice first. Coat a little juice on the corns with cotton balls and let it dry naturally.
After the green flower juice is dried, you can use cotton balls to coat mustard oil. This can prevent the skin wound from being infected by bacteria when peeling the corns.
9. Make a mixture with turmeric, aloe and bromelain. This mixture can soften the skin affected by corns and make corns peel off more easily. Turmeric can resist inflammation, thus relieving discomfort, aloe has healing effect, and bromelain is a substance extracted from pineapple, which has hemostatic function. If you don't have bromelain, you can use tea tree essential oil instead.
Mix turmeric powder, aloe gel and bromelain in equal amount to form paste. Apply this cream to corns, wrap them with bandages, and apply them overnight. Wash off the cream the next morning and grind the corns with pumice.
