Thank you both for your advice. I’ll try the Epsom salts!

My husband used to suffer with the same problem. His podiatrist made him a made to measure insert to wear between the offending toes. It was made of something she moulded to fit perfectly that then set like rubber/silicon. She also cut the corns out for about a year. Eventually they just stopped coming back.

I wish I could help. I’ve had one on the outside of my little toe for over thirty years. It all started with me wearing some beautiful soft leather shoes that were quite tight. I’ve had it cut out by a chiropodist but it just comes back. Maybe soaking with Epsom salts might help? It’s my non bunion foot, too, so I’ve never worn fashionable shoes, just good sensible ones.

I have two painful corns … facing each other on the inside of my two small toes. I go to the podiatrist every 4/5 weeks who removes them … but in 2/3 weeks they are back again. I don’t wear narrow shoes.. and use corn pads (not corn removal pads) between toes … but they are painful …anyone got treatment tips please
