i have a corn/blister/wart on my pinky toe. i have had these Dr. Scholl's patch things on them because they're supposed to get rid of them, but i was wondering if there was a quicker, easier way.
are there any tricks, like putting it in vinegar or something, that will get rid of it in a couple of days? i'd like to have it gone by tuesday if possible.
