Dear Lybrateuser, - She should wear proper fitting socks & shoes as friction between an ill fitting shoe & foot causes a corn
- should dip feet in warm water 2-3 times a day for 10-15 min daily
- rub the upper skin of the corn with pumice stone
- wear a corn cap while walking, running
- apply a mosturizer twice a day
- take a pain relief tablet after meals if pain is more.
