Hi. I'm getting corns on my feet. 7 months ago I got a corn on my right foot. That has become big now, and suddenly I have five new corns on my feet. 1 more in the right foot, and two in the left. Also, have got one on my left hand first finger. Why is this happening? The new ones are pretty small. But how to deal with this? please help me with it

Calluses and corns are caused by repeated pressure or friction on an area of skin. The pressure causes the skin to die and form a hard, protective surface. A soft corn is formed in the same way, except that when sweat is trapped where the corn develops, the hard core softens. This typically occurs between toes.Most corns and calluses gradually disappear when the friction or pressure stops, although your doctor may shave the top of a callus to reduce the thickness. Properly positioned moleskin pads can help relieve pressure on a corn. Most foot doctors discourage the use of over-the-counter salicylic-acid corn remedies. Castor Oil and Apple Cider Vinegar. Fill a basin with hot, soapy water, then add a cup of apple cider vinegar before soaking your feet in the water for at least 15 minutes. Calluses should be softened enough to be filed with a pumice stone. For corns, dab some castor oil on after soaking your feet.
