[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1861166, member: 355878"] Soaking in warm water and then applying warm olive oil and massaging the whole foot might be a gentler way to deal with it - and also look at your footwear. If your shoes are loose then the friction of your feet moving inside them could be the cause of the corn. Consider innersoles which are meant to reduce the impact of hard surfaces, or new shoes with cushioned soles. Do start with a fresh unopened supply of olive oil, and be careful to tip out a small amount and then recap the bottle to keep it sterile, do not return unused oil to the bottle or put a pad on the neck and tip the bottle. This is a genuine old wives remedy - there were a lot of midwives and nurses in my father's family and they knew a thing or two about keeping people alive and well. They would have recommended a crochet woolen innersole, but we have moved on since then. [/QUOTE]
