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.

I would not advise you take a razor to your feet!

Question 8

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 9

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 10

can you tell me how to grow foot calluses really fast?

Accepted Answer

Calluses: Are the gradual thickening of the skin due to repeated pressure. It's a protective thing and not anything you can rush. If you try to rush it, you'll blister instead. I assume you want these calluses for a sport like karate. That would be the only legitimate reason i could think of for you to actually want calluses.
