How to get rid of corns using 5 easy remedies

Corn is skin which was compacted or deformed as a result of mechanical damage. This change in skin does not carry explicit risks to our life that is why we quite often do not hurry with its treatment. Unfortunately the damage will not disappear on its own. Sometimes corns hurt, start bleeding and cause a lot of inconveniences. As the result with no treatment we get chronic so-called “dry” corn and it is even harder to get rid of it.

It is very important to react and treat corns on time. We can prevent corns by removing rough old skin regularly. In case it is too late for preventing we need to react immediately and use all possible tools and techniques. The best possible way to solve the problem is to act immediately and use natural remedies.

The first remedy: Oils

Today in any pharmacy or beauty store you can buy oils for home use. Usually we already have some oils at home (in the kitchen or in the bathroom). Some women enjoy essential oils and they end up having whole collection of different oils. For our treatment we can use almost any oil. Vegetable oils are great against dry corns.

Oils against corns:

Linseed oil.
Olive oil.
Corn oil.
Castor oil etc.

Oils soften the skin and they are very often used as a mean to remove calluses. Pay attention to the cream components. You can buy cream with one of these oils and use it as a preventive or healing treatment. In case you want to get great result quicker you should use the remedy on the daily basis.

Oil implementation:

Take a sit and prepare few cotton balls and oil which you plan to use on the corns.
Make sure that the surface where oil will be implemented is clean.
Soak cotton ball in the oil and put it on the damaged place.
Wrap the toe or foot with polyethylene and textile (sock).
Leave the oil on the skin for the whole night.
Usually after such a “steam bath” which we made with the help of oil and polyethylene it is easier to wash and remove the corns from the foot mechanically. Use some graters for the foot.
Repeat the procedure as many times as it will take to get rid of the corns completely.

Oils are harmless and can be implemented even every day if you have enough of time and desire to fight with the unpleasant skin damage.

Interesting: Some women prefer castor oil instead of all the rest oils because this type of oil not just softens the skin but additionally stimulates blood circulation. In such a way the healing process is quicker.
