Corns on feet - #18641

Anonymously

I’ve been dealing with corns on my feet for over a year now, and it’s become such a frustrating problem. It started with just a small rough patch on the bottom of my right foot, near my toes, but I ignored it at first. I thought it was just dry skin or maybe a small callus from walking too much. But over time, the corns on my feet started getting worse. The thick, hardened skin became more painful, and now I have them on both feet, especially on the balls of my feet and near my pinky toes. I have a job that requires me to stand for long hours. I work in retail, and I barely get time to sit down during my shift. Every time I take a step, I feel this stabbing pain, and by the end of the day, my feet are throbbing. The corns on my feet have made it so hard to wear my regular shoes. I’ve tried switching to softer, cushioned shoes, but it hasn’t helped much. The worst part is that I even tried over-the-counter corn pads, but they irritated my skin, and I feel like they didn’t really remove the corns on my feet—just made them more sensitive. A few weeks ago, I tried soaking my feet in warm water with Epsom salt, then using a pumice stone to rub the corns down. It worked a little, but only for a few days. The corns on my feet just keep coming back, and I don’t understand why. I read online that tight shoes and excessive friction can cause them, but I wear comfortable footwear most of the time. Could it be something internal? Maybe my diet or a deficiency? I’m looking for an Ayurvedic solution to get rid of the corns on my feet permanently. I don’t want to keep using chemical treatments or corn plasters because I’m scared they’ll damage my skin even more. Are there any herbal oils or pastes that can soften and remove them naturally? Also, is there a way to prevent corns on my feet from returning once they’re gone? I read that turmeric, neem, and castor oil might help—are these effective? I also heard that massaging the feet with warm oil can help. Are there specific foot exercises or pressure points I should focus on? I want to avoid surgery or any invasive procedures if possible. Please guide me on the best Ayurvedic remedies and lifestyle changes that can help heal the corns on my feet for good.
