how to heal my calluses on my knuckles?

Accepted Answer

Sure it's calluses?: Callus formation is typically due to chronic mechanical pressure on an area of skin.  Be sure of the diagnosis with your physician.  It may be warts or other skin conditions that can mimic callouses.  For calluses filing down the dead layer of skin after soaking them in warm water with epsom salts works well and should not cause any pain.

Question 6

i have this painful callus on my hand and i have tried to file it down, but the callus keeps coming back. and i was wondering if i can get it removed?

Accepted Answer

: A callus is an area of thickened skin that arises due to mechanical abrasion or repeated pressure such as is found with certain repetitive manual labor (digging with a shovel, carrying boxes or packages, using handtools, etc). Filing it down will reduce the size and appearance temporarily, but it will just build up again unless the action causing it is changed.
