I've got this corn on the bottom of my foot that's causing me quite a bit of pain, especially when I walk. I even tried using corn caps, but they didn't really work. It's getting really frustrating. Do you have any advice on what I should do next?

Sounds like you are dealing with a persistent corn. Corns can be quite painful, especially if left untreated here's what you can do Review the use of corn caps, Soak and exfoliate with warm water for 10-15 mins daily, Pain relief by using cushioned pads or gel insoles to reduce pressure on corn when walking. If corn persists or is causing significant pain, consult a dermatologist or podiatrist .
