Home Remedies To Get Rid Of Corns

Corns most often develop on the feet, especially on the tops and sides of the toes, soles of your feet and even between the toes.You can also try simple natural home remedies to get rid of corns.


Baking Soda
Baking soda has antifungal and antibacterial properties that will help keep your skin free from infections.


  • Add two to three tablespoons of baking soda to a basin of warm water. Soak your feet in this solution for 10 to 15 minutes. Rub the affected area with a pumice stone to remove the dead skin.
  • Another option is to mix together one teaspoon of baking soda, a little lemon juice and water to make a paste. 
  • Apply it carefully, only on the affected area. Cover it with a bandage and leave it on overnight. The next morning, rinse off the paste with lukewarm water and then exfoliate gently with a pumice stone.
  • You can use either of these remedies once daily until the corn dries and flakes off.
Lemon
The citrus acid in lemon works to soften the hardened skin that makes up the corn, so it eventually falls out.


  • Apply fresh lemon juice on the corn and allow it to air dry. Do this at least three times daily.
  • Alternatively, soak two pieces of cloves in one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice for 15 minutes. 
  • Remove the cloves and rub the lemon juice on the corn. Allow it to air dry and then apply the juice again. Repeat several times a day.
  • Another option is to mix one teaspoon of Brewer’s yeast with a little lemon juice to make a thick paste. Slather the paste onto the corn, cover with a bandage, and leave it on overnight.
  • You can use any of these three remedies daily until you are satisfied with the result.
