At her age, if she is not comfortable with surgery, conservative care can definitely be tried first to reduce pain and pressure from the corns. The most important thing is to reduce friction and pressure on the feet. She should use very soft cushioned footwear or corn pads and avoid walking barefoot. Do not cut or peel the corn at home. Daily soaking of feet in warm water for 10–15 minutes can help soften the hard skin. After soaking, gentle application of castor oil or coconut oil over the corn area may help reduce dryness and pain. If there is swelling or redness, keep the feet clean and dry and avoid excessive pressure. Kasisadi taila – local application over corns twice daily Gandhak rasayan – 1 tablet twice daily after food Yograj Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily after food This may help gradually soften the corn and reduce pain and inflammation. Since she also has difficulty walking and redness/swelling, regular foot inspection is important to avoid infection or ulcer formation. Regards, Dr Raghuveer (Ayurvedacharya)
