Wearing of closed high heeled shoes is one of the major causes of corns (enkyakya). Some of the remedies for corns are as follows:

Use a pumice stone to gently rub the corns after soaking them in warm water for about 30 minutes.

Apply baby oil on it and never use a sharp blade to remove it. Avoid wearing shoes without socks and wearing fitting shoes.

Avoid over-the-counter corn remover acids, especially if you are diabetic, elderly or have impaired sensation.
