I suggest you try a pumice stone before resorting to cutting. Again, make sure your foot and the area around the corn are clean before you start using a pumice stone, and use gentle pressure and a circular motion.

To prevent corns, make sure your shoes fit properly. Corns are cause by continuous pressure and friction by your shoes on the area where the corn develops.
