Try cocoa butter. Or what you can do is buy Bag Balm. A pic is in my sources but before you go to sleep, put it on your feet, put a plastic bag over your feet and then put on some socks. Make sure you take off the bags before you walk and wash your feet because it's like vaseline. It comes off very hard.

u cant cure it by a homeopathic medicine. it is a bone spurt into the tissue and the onl way to "fix it " would be to go to a padiatrist aka a foot dr. he will opper8 and file it down.

get rid of the shoes that caused them!\ndepending on the case, there r some steps that u might find helpeful:\n- if its big, old and ugly there's a special cream that kinda peals off the corn or more like burns it u can find it in the drug stores.\n- if its new and small and sore and red..soak ur feet for 15 minutes then carefully take a loafah or whatever -nothing too rough pls- and start scrubbing it off but gently.\n- u can try slicing a small tiny slice of tomato and putting it on it and put on it plasters just for a day or 2.\n- also if its new and hurts.. use a special jelly taht soothes the pain and hopefully gets it away, scholl is the best.\nhope this works!

first of all, buy better shoes. Second, take an anti-inflammatory ALL THE TIME. Just taking it when it hurts does not help the problem. Third, quit running and start walking for exercise. Shortening your stride will also help. You can strengthen those muscles by doing 30 toe-raises a day. Without the support of a wall, go from flat footed to up on your toes 30 times each day. Do so fairly slowly and let yourself back down JUST as slowly.

You could try rubbing them with vaseline at night and covering them with mittens or socks while you sleep.  Rubbing them with olive oil or Vitamin E oil might also help.

Try pure vaseline -petroleum jelly. Wash you feet, dry them and apply a thick layer, and wear a breathable cotton socks. You will see remarkable smoothness in a few days.

An anifungal cream is good. Tinactin and Lamasil are the ones that I have use with the best results. Fungi usually come where there is too much moisture. Make sure that after you come out of the shower to dry your feet completely. And whenever possible air out your feet by removing your shoes.

I teach my patients to stretch their gastroc soleus complex (calves). Find some stairs. Place the balls of your feet on the edge of the step and lower your heels (while holding a railing or a wall). If you have them, stick some golf balls in the freezer overnight, roll your feet on them: this breaks up the adhesions in the plantar fascia while the cold acts as a natural anti-inflammatory. You could try the stretch found here http://brightsurf.com/news/headlines/27263/Heel_to_heal.html. \nOr try to find a chiropractor certified to practice Active Release Technique to break up the adhesions more thoroughly (should take under 6 treatments) at Activerelease.com and search sor a provider in your area.

Try soaking your foot in Epsom salts and warm water, making sure that you dry your foot completely.  Wearing sandals is helpful along with cotton socks, which you should change regularly.

I am such a klutz and have broken all of my toes, except for my big toes.  I have a sofa that has a hide a bed in it, so whenever I try to move "the beast", I break a toe....or just walking past it I walk right into it.  Thankfully, that sofa is leaving me in a couple of weeks! \n\nAnyway...it hurts, no doubt about that.  The discoloration (purple, yellow, green) will take a few weeks.  For the pain...Tylenol extra strength and only wear shoes when you have to...I recommend flip flops right now or open toed.  Don't try jamming your toes into athletic shoes or formal wear shoes.  It's only going to take longer to heal.  I have been there! \n\nAs for your husband....if it's not broken, it's probably badly sprained.  I would suggest loosly taping it to it's neighbor or ice.  Also, only wear shoes when you have to.  If he really wants to know if it's broken, see a podiatrist or your primary care physician.  Hope that I have helped.

Buy gynelotrimen.\nIt's MUCH cheaper than the foot creams, and it is EXACTLY the same medicine.

keep that sucka clean.  With all that activity your shoes are a cesspool of bacteria.  Use neosporin or a bactine spray when ever you can.  Soak that sucka in salt water to clean it and help with swelling.  Then wait...it'll prolly take close to a month for it to heal..maybe longer.

try using a flat iron in a low setting and pressing tissue paper between the flat iron and your shoes, the heated butter will go to the heated tissue, drying up the dark spots in the process.

Hi, I had the same problem before. Use heel cushions with your shoes. You will have a relief for sure.\nGood luck!

put on a pair of mid calf white thick socks / thick wool ones work also.  wrap once from the bottom to the top without too many creases with duct tape, then place an old inner sole from one of your old shoes and wrap again with more duct tape.  that's what i'd do if you didn't have to have certain regulations or email me and my friends in houston will tell me how to get them or they may even have an extra pair
