I had painful corns on my little toes for a long time. I tried every otc remedy available. One day, I got a small plastic dish pan, put in hot water with a little dish soap added, and had an electric kettle at my side. I sat on the couch, and spent 30 minutes soaking my feet. Adding water as hot as I could stand after it began to cool. I had a nail brush, and a paddle like thing you use on heels, one with a buffer type thing that you use on your heels and bottom of feet. After I dried off my feet. I worked with my fingers loosening the corn with my fingers. I dried my feet, rubbed the 'sander' on my corns and feet. The next day I repeated the above. The corns came off that day. I put some foot cream on my feet, and let it go. A few days later, the corns were all out. Be sure to put on some antiseptic on the toes, and a non-medicated corn pads on them for a few days, and those nasty corns never ever came back. That was 5 years ago. You just have to spend time on this, but a week of caring for my feet, was worth the 5 years to date of the peace and no pain were well worth it. My foot MD was awed on my method. I also put Tea Tree oil on them for about two weeks after to assure no infection set in the toes. I am a happy walker now. No more pain.

Try it. Good luck.

-Soak your foot in warm water to reduce the size of a callus and then use a pumice stone to lightly wear away the dead skin.
-Tie a fresh slice of lemon on the feet where corn is present on.
-Remove in the morning when you wake up.
- Papaya juice acts as an irritant and will help to treat corns when applied on the affected area thrice daily.
-Corn removing plasters available in medical stores are also effective to treat stubborn corns.

Corn pads with a preparation of salicylic acid, which gradually remove corns over several days. Herbal recommendations to remove corns include applying licorice, green figs, lemon, or papaya to the affected area to gradually melt corns. Using ice may also help to remove corns.
Soak your feet in diluted chamomile tea. Soak in hot water and use a file or pumice stone to rub the hard corn. Apply any cream with 20% urea content to gradually dissolve the hard skin. Usage of lamb wool between toes will also help removing corns.
Those with diabetes have an increased risk of infection in the feet. Before trying any of the above remedies to remove corns, diabetics should consult their doctor. Simple infections can easily turn gangrenous, and some preparations to remove corns may actually do more harm than good. Those who have either suppressed autoimmune systems or diabetes should report any foot problems to a doctor.
