Question
How to treat children’s corns quickly?
Answer
Using salicylic acid and trichloroacetic acid are effective methods for treating corns. First, carefully remove the corn and fill in the center core, then apply a 40% salicylic acid paste. After 48 hours, remove the paste, clean the area thoroughly, and apply a new paste. Repeat this process until the corn forms a scab. Mixing salicylic acid and lactic acid in collodion is more effective than the paste; apply the medication to the treated area daily and let it dry, continuing until healing. Before each application of medication, soaking the affected foot for half an hour can enhance the efficacy of the treatment, which is particularly effective for treating corns.
