how can i get rid of a callus thats on my middle finger before it gets infected?

Accepted Answer

Warm soaks: use warm water, epsom salts, soak 15 min., dry and file with soft emery board.

Question 2

what is the best way to get rid of a callus?

Accepted Answer

Can be difficult: Calluses are due to pressure against a bone. Depending on where the callus is located somethimes a particular shoe is causing excessive pressure at the callus spot so you may want to stop using it. You can also use a pumice stone to reduce the callus.  I do not recommend the otc callus removers from the store.  The other choice is surgical consideration to reduce the underlying bone.

Question 4

what is the best way to get rid of a callus on the penile shaft caused by excessive jogging?  (i'm a marathon runner.)

Accepted Answer

Common: Penile calluses are a common problem in marathon runners because of the chafing that occurs in moist areas. There are specialized male treatments (Man 1 Man Oil) that can be used to soften the calluses and heal the skin, but it will take time. Prevention is the best strategy. Reduce the friction by using a lubricant: Petroleum jelly or Bodyglide on the areas that rub and wear compression shorts.

See a foot doctor: Wo not only can take off for you but could possibly apply medication to make it not return.

Question 6

how can you get rid of a callous on your toe?

Accepted Answer

Reduce pressure: A callus is because the skin is being rubbed between a hard surface on the outside(like your shoe) and the bone on the inside.
If you reduce this friction the callus will slowly disappear.  Sometimes this is very difficult to do depending on where the callus is located.
If there is a bone spur(bump of bone) under the callus it can sometimes be reduced by surgery.

Question 10

how do i get rid of a corn in a callous...i've had this condition for approx 6 weeks. thanks!

Accepted Answer

Corn: I am assuming you are asking about toes as corns usually refers to that.  A corn in a callous is a misnomer.  The corn is a callous but may have a harder  center than the rest of the callous.  This is caused by the toes rubbing /lining up incorrectly/ bone spurs as well as bunions puttind pressure on the toes.  A podiatrist will help you .  Good luck !
