How do you get corns on your feet?

Answer 1

The easiest way to tackle this problem, obviously, is to see a qualified chiropodist.

However, a pumice stone should do the trick. Soak your feet in warm water before use.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

- wear shoes that fit you properly will get rid of them

- soak your feet in a mixture of warm water, Borax, Iodine, and Bran, and then use a pumice stone to grind away dead skin.

- if you have corns in between your toes, use a bit of cloth or padding to help keep your toes from rubbing against each other

- DO NOT use medicated corn pads because they present the possibility of further irritating the skin underneath the corn and may cause infection. Use a non medicated pad instead.

It took me a very long time this might not help but i am 11 and i had the biggest corn ever! It took me half a year to get of i tried using a nail saw to scrape of the dead skin that helped and i also put on dr.scholls corn remover which only made it yellow and i tried taking a nail clipper and removing the skin but that made the corn have black spots then one day i went to great wolf lodge for 3 days i was in the water alot and it got as hard as a rock and black and because of the water at great wolf lodge when i got to my house it fell of.

Here's a nice WiseGeek idea for treating callouses on the feet:

To get rid of calluses on your feet, start with a long soaking. Fill a tub with warm water and Epsom salts, essential oils, or even tea. These substances help to soften your skin for the next step: filing. Use a pumice stone or a foot file to gently file away at your callus, lifting the dead skin and stimulating fresh growth underneath. If the callus is especially large, do not try to take it all off at once. After filing, moisturize your feet with a rich intensive moisturizer like petroleum jelly.

There are a few other tricks you can use to soften your skin before filing to get rid of calluses. Try making a paste of aspirin and lemon juice and applying it to your calluses before wrapping your feet in a damp towel. Relax for 10 to 20 minutes while the paste works into your skin, and then rinse it off and file your feet. If you do this in the evening, pull on a pair of lightweight cotton socks after your moisturize, and wear your socks to bed to promote deep moisturization of your feet while you sleep.

A common treatment for foot corns is the use of moleskin pads (can be found at most drug stores).
