Corns are usually smaller than a callus (thick hardened skin) and have a hard centre. They usually develop on the tops and sides of the toes. They can occasionally be painful

It can be helpful to directly apply Castor oil onto the affected area. You can gently rub the oil onto the corn for two or three minutes twice a day or before bed you could apply the oil to a cotton pad and tape it in place overnight. However do not apply anything to the corn if there is broken skin.

Some advise to soak the feet in Epsom Salts for around 20 minutes. This can soften the hardened skin and may also help reduce any pain by reducing swelling and inflammation.

Using Calendula cream can help keep the skin soft and prevent formation of corns and calluses.
