Will applying baking soda to corns dry them out?

Baking soda is a natural exfoliant and will soften the hardened area of the skin, which will help to get rid of the dead skins of the corn and initiate the healing process. One of the home remedies is to add 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 ml) of baking soda to a basin of warm water. Soak your feet in this solution for 10 to 15 minutes. Rub the affected area gently with a pumice stone or a skin file to remove the dead skin. Another option is to mix together 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of baking soda, a little lemon juice and water to make a paste. Apply it carefully, only on the affected area. Cover it with a bandage and leave it on overnight. The next morning, rinse off the paste with lukewarm water and then exfoliate gently with a pumice stone. You can use either of these remedies once daily until the corn dries and flakes off.
