Those corns and calluses on your feet could be an outcome of causes like wearing ill-fitting socks, tight shoes, not wearing socks at all, manual labour, too much involvement in sports or some medical condition. No matter what the reason is, the fact remains that not only do these corns make your feet look ugly but they are also quite painful. If you want to flaunt beautiful feet sans calluses and corns, consider using hydrogen peroxide to your advantage. Indeed, this is a home remedy that is extremely effective!

Plan to use pumice stone for doing away with calluses. It is best if you could combine the use of pumice stone with hydrogen peroxide solution.

This will make your feet feel smooth.
Additional Tips
- The concentration of hydrogen peroxide for safe health use is 3%.
- Get your bottle of hydrogen peroxide from a drug store where you should ask for ‘pharmaceutical grade” or low-grade’ sample.
- Make sure you store hydrogen peroxide in its brown bottle away from sunlight and put the cap on immediately after you have poured out the required quantity.
- Do not ingest. High concentration of hydrogen peroxide if swallowed could cause side effects like vomiting, stomach ulcers, bleeding, throat burns or even stroke. So use hydrogen peroxide with caution.
