My husband Noel suffer painful area especially in his toe of dead, thickened skin for a long time. We went to the dermatologist twice for the treatment and bought an expensive cream that was prescribed by a doctor. He used it for months but still the corn is kept on coming back. He still complains everyday because he can still feel the tingling feeling that it gives. I read several books, and apply the helpful tips that I have learned. Corn are your skin's way of protecting itself against repeated rubbing or pressure from tight shoes. To help minimize the discomfort corns cause, try covering them with some soft padding (we bought one in mall, and it helps). And also find a new pair of comfortable shoes, one that allows your toes to wiggle. And to soften and remove corns, try this helpful tips, First, Soak your feet in warm water for 20 minutes. Second, Cut a square from the peel of a fresh pineapple and gently rest the inside directly on the corn. Using first aid tape, attach the peel to the corn overnight and cover it with a sock.Third, remove carefully the peel the following morning and soak your foot again. It may take as many as four consecutive nights of applying the pineapple peel until the corn falls off or comes off easily by rubbing it gently with a pumice stone. Why pineapple? It says that the secret is bromelain, an enzyme found in pineapple plants and fruits that softens and breaks down the dead skin. Although there's been no research that pineapple peel can remove corns, some people have reported success with this remedy and it is safe and natural alternative to over the counter medicine. So, if you got corns, try this helpful tips, I'm sure the discomfort will be gone and you can move freely.
