Look to Nature for the Cure to Various Foot Problems

corns-onthe-feet.jpgAnyone familiar with nature is well aware that Mother Earth can provide the solution for many foot related problems. When it comes to corns on your feet, for example, submerge willow tree bark in warm water for about thirty minutes. After the solution is created, soak your feet inside to treat your feet to an effective solution.  

Are ingrown toenails a problem? The solution happens to be a solution, of grinded acorns and water. If blisters or lesions are the case, apply crushed plantains or yarrow to the affected area for an effective solvent. After applying the plantains or yarrow (you can use both), cover your wound with a bandage so that it heals.

Corns can create a lot of difficulty. If you have foot corns and nature isn’t working out for you, see podiatrist Dr. Michael H. Wynn, DPM of Foot Care Associates of Texas. Dr. Wynn can treat your foot and ankle needs.

Corns: What are they? And how do you get rid of them?

Corns can be described as areas of the skin that have thickened to the point of becoming painful or irritating. They are often layers and layers of the skin that have become dry and rough, and are normally smaller than calluses.

Ways to Prevent Corns

There are many ways to get rid of painful corns such as wearing:
- Well-fitting socks
- Comfortable shoes that are not tight around your foot
- Shoes that offer support

Treating Corns

Treating corns involves removing the dead skin that has built up in the specific area of the foot. Salicylic acid can help in getting rid of these corns because it dissolves keratin, which is the protein that makes up a good majority of corns. Podiatrists recommend that people with diabetes not use salicylic acid but should consult with their podiatrist regarding the treatment of corns.
