Question 1

how can you remove calluses from feet permanently?

Accepted Answer

Callus: Usually calluses are formed due to increased pressure.  To get rid of them may involve orthotics, change in shoegear, or even potentially surgery.  You can make them less painful with the use of moisturizers after getting your feet wet to the dry/callused areas.  Or use of a pumice stone daily after getting your feet wet as well.  I would not advise you take a razor to your feet!

Question 2

how do i remove hard calluses on my feet?

Accepted Answer

Gradually: You may try try emollients at night to soften the calluses.  You could also use over the counter scrappers to gradually grind the calluses away.  Avoid overdoing the grinding, it may take months to gradually wear away the calluses.

Question 3

how to remove corns and calluses on your feet?

Accepted Answer

Hammertoes: Corns and calluses are a result of contracture of the toes, and plantarflexing of the metatarsals. Hammertoes are a common problem that can result in corns over the joints. Calluses on the plantar aspect of the foot result from the metatarsal bones dropping, and the tendons contracting. Debriding the corns and calluses is only temporary. An orthtoic, changing shoe gear, and sugical correction.

Question 4

calluses on heels of feet how do you remove them?

Accepted Answer

Moisturize..: Moisture your heels with lotion daily. Lotions with at least 20% urea will penetrate thicker skin. Also, you can check out heel sleeves that provide help with keeping moisture locked in when used with moisturizers. You could wear them at night. Medical pedicures may benefit you by having a professional remove the calluses for you. Wearing sandals and open-backed shoes also play a role...

Question 8

how to remove warts, calluses, & blisters on feet?

Accepted Answer

Quite broad question: All the conditions you are asking about can be examined by a podiatrist.  The cause of each and the appropriate treatment is not the same for all.  Warts are viruses resulting in a skin lesion.  Calluses/corns are your skin's way of protecting itself from pressure.  Blisters are breaks/peels in the skin resulting from friction but can be the result of internal injury/inflammation.  Get checked.

Question 9

how do i remove peeling burning callus feet? i've tried callus remover and it doesn't work. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Can take a while: The best way to remove calluses at home is to soak the feet in warm water and use a pumice stone or callus file. You may need to do this daily for a few weeks to get results. Then you may need to repeat it weekly to keep calluses from getting large again. If this does not work then you may need to see a podiatrist for treatment. Good luck, large calluses can be painful.

Question 10

is there any natural treatment for it.

Accepted Answer

Callus: Callus can be a sign of an area on the foot that have excessive pressure; as a result of this, callus forms to protect the foot. You can bathe the feet in warm water and use a sugar exfoliant with a loofah to remove the excess skin. Do not use a blade at home to remove the callus. Use only a loofah with sugar exfoliant and warm water.
