Question 2

what can i do to get rid of these calluses on my feet?

Accepted Answer

NEED FOR CUSHION!: Most shoes aren't always what is bad, usually it's the crummy insoles they come with! there are many possibe reasons  that you may have callouses on the foot, but try cushioning arch supports like spenco polysorb cross-trainers(http://www.Spenco.Com/products/footcare/poly-sorb).  If these don't help, see a podiatrist.... Routine trimming or surgery may help too, depending on a accurate diagnosis.

Question 3

Callus: A painful callus can arise over areas of increased friction or pressure.  Try to offload the painful area with some type of over the counter padding.  Also, topical therapies that contain urea or salycilic acid can be helpful to thin out the thickened callus.

Question 4

how do you get rid of corns and calluses that are on your feet?

Accepted Answer

Lotion or surgery. : Corns and calluses occur because of pressure points. Surgery can fix this, but if you're not ready for that, trimming them down and regular use of lotion may soften them to the point they don't bother you. You can also try larger shoes that don't rub against the painful areas! offloading orthotics can also help: see your podiatrist for casting.

Question 6

what to do if i have a callus on my feet and there is a wound in it. how do i get rid of the callus?

Accepted Answer

Careful, careful: If diabetic, then the callus and wound need to be seen by a wound care expert immediately.  Callus is the body's attempt to protect an injured area.  It can hide a serious ulcer and so in diabetics, it needs to be removed immediately and the ulcer underneath explored.  Callus is thick, dry tissue and it can crack, thus tearing the delicate tissues underneath.  This is a potentially serious problem.

Callus: I would see a podiatrist they can trim the calluse and have other treatment options to eliminate or reduce the calluse. I would also get an orthotic made to off load pressure. Make sure your wearing the proper size shoes. Sometimes a calluse is a wart ( viral infection ).
