Corn Plasters - Where To Buy?

[Chainsaw]

None of the Rawai pharmacies stock corn plasters any more, although they used to. Does any one know where I can get some?

I look forward to any helpful replies and also any "corny" ones.

Sounds a bit drastic. Can you give me more details?

They have a root, just like veruca, as fas as I can remember. The chiropodist, I think, can deal with it!

That's what corn plasters do. The bit in the middle of the plaster contains salicylic acid which burns the skin - I think it turns white - and after the prescribed time you pinch the dead skin and pull out the root of the corn.

Or you can get the liquid form of the acid and paint it on. I think I tried both but preferred the plasters.

When I had a load of corns many years ago, I didn't know for sure where they came from, but I remember taking off my flip-flops when visiting a chemist's shop a few days earlier and I reckon I may have walked on someone else's infection. Eeew!

I never take my flip-flops off now. Sorry, Thai custom lovers.

Well thanks to all suggesting various methods of removing corns but I'm still hoping for an answer to my original post. Does anyone know where I can buy corn plasters?
