So wait, you left the banana peel on your foot for a week, you didn't change it or anything? How did that work out with bathing? I would really like to know. Thanks.Replied By Kamal (Bhubaneswar, Orissa, INDIA) on 01/17/2009
I should be grateful to Babara for this inexpensive and home treatment. I have a large and very painful corn on my left heel. I had undergone an operation but to almost no effect as the corn reappeared in a few days. I shall try the banana peel now and I think it shall cure me.Replied By Kamal (Bhubaneswar, Orissa, INDIA) on 01/17/2009
Please, specify whether the ripe or unripe banana peel should be applied?
EC: Ripe may be better... Check the feedback on the banana peel for warts page: https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/bananapeel.html

Hello Barbara, My question is did you leave the same piece of banana peel taped in place for one week or did you apply a new piece of banana peel daily? I have a couple of corns I would like to try this one on, but wonder about the ability to keep the same piece in place X one week, especially on the one that is on the bottom of the toe, just barely off the foot.Replied By Rhonda (Cavendish, Vermont) on 01/16/2010
I am trying this now, I will put a fresh banana peel on everyday...I will wear it a day for a week, I keep you posted!Plus, i will get some potassium from the nanners!Replied By Rhonda (Cavendish, Vt) on 01/18/2010
I tried the banana peel for one day, I have also tried a lemon peel for a day. The banana peel took no pain away, turned brown, and shrunk. The lemon peel seemed to take the pain away, shrunk, but stayed in place better. I will continue with the lemon peel....Replied By Rhonda (Cavendish, Vermont) on 01/24/2010
the lemon peel is taking the pain away, I don't know yet about if it will cure it. Time will tell, I have been changing it every dayReplied By Nicole (Byron, Georgia Usa) on 11/12/2010
My daughter had a corn on her toe that had become extremely painful. She is a diabetic and I wanted to try something natural. I am so glad I found this site!! We alternated between a banana peel and lemon peel changing every night before bed. The corn completely fell off last night. This took about two weeks. AMAZING!Replied By Susan (Ottawa, On) on 05/01/2012
If your corn looked like cauliflour with black bits, then I would suggest you had a Plantars Wart not a corn. Glad it worked out for you in any case.Replied By Brian (Bonne Terre, Mo) on 06/13/2012
I don't know how long it will take for this to work, but I did the lemon peel about 5 minutes ago and it feels like instant relief. At this point I am ready to amputate my left pinky toe so it stops rubbing the other one. If this doesn't work, I still may do that. Let's hope this works.Replied By Karen (California) on 02/25/2015
I have a corn on my left little toe, on top. Very painful that I can not wear enclosed shoes. I have been to the doctor. you won't believe this, my options are cut the toe open and file away calcium deposits or cut the toe off!! He never mentions the corn. This is from a doctor! The corn medications over the counter don't work. Heat irritates it so I put ice on it a few times a day. This helps some. I am an ice skater and need this to go away. I will try the banana and lemon.Replied By Anon (Usa) on 02/27/2015
You might also consider soaking your foot in Epsom Salts first and then applying Iodex. Wishing you well!
