Question 2

any permanent way to get rid of a callous at the base of the big toe.  really painful and keeps coming back after being scraped.

Accepted Answer

Not permanent, but..: Callosity is simply the body's way of protecting itself from continuing trauma by building up excess tissue at the area of trauma. Scraping can certainly reduce this build up, but it is a dynamic process and will return over  time. Consider adding ammonium lactate lotion to slow the growth. It works by increasing the amount of moisture in the skin and dissolving aggregated skin cells.

Could be anything.: It could be just about anything. The critical question to be asked is whether or not the lesion is located directly over a weight bearing bony area, as opposed in an area that bears no direct weight.
