Corns are normally, smaller in size in comparison to calluses but with hard centre appearing on top and sides of toe. If timely and proper care is not provided to these corns and calluses, then it can really damage your skin in harmful way. Here are some ways that can help you to treat corns and calluses naturally.
Castor oil is considered to be thick oil. Applying it on affected area in night can be very effective in curing corns and calluses. Make sure you wear pair of socks after applying the oil for preventing your bed sheet to get strained.
Add some Epsom salt in warm water; now soak your feet in this solution for about 20-25 minutes. This will help in softening the callus on your feet. It will also provide you relief from swelling and inflammation that may have developed around your callus. Once the callus on your feet gets soften, wear it down using a pumice stone in a very gentle manner without hurting yourself.
