Question 1

what to do if i have bad foot calluses at 18 should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Address cause: See Podiatrist. In addition to trimming/removing callus, the cause of these calluses can be detemined. Then perhaps they can be prevented. Often there id=s a biomechanical or structural cause. Dermatitis may also be present.

Question 2

treated callous with ointment and wrap foot with gald wrap.then started to get pain under ball of foot. 1year pain still very bad. damage to nerve?

Accepted Answer

Possible nerve: Nerve injuries tends to occur when standing and sitting and can be described as "tingly or burning."  If your pain is only when your standing you may have injured one of the small bones under the ball of your foot called "sesamoids."

Question 3

my husband has a spot on the bottom of his foot that looks like a callous but it has a whole in the middle of it with a black drainage that has a bad odor?

Accepted Answer

See Podiatrist: Sounds like an ulcer with infection. Whatever it actual is, it is not normal and needs treatment.

Question 4

dear doc.. i think i have a callus in my right foot. it hurts really bad when i walk on it and it is like a big bubble. it is growing. what do i do?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: Or podiatrist. Perhaps it is a wart which can be cured. If a callous it can be reduced and the cause identified.

Question 5

i have two invisible bumps on the side of my foot and right beside it is a callus. the two bumps itch very badly.

Accepted Answer

Look closer....: It might be that you are applying a little too much vanishing cream to the area and now the bumps have become invisible. ( I couldn't resist it.) Callus formation is either from pressure, foreign body or possibly confused with a wart. Itching is usually as a result of contact with an irritant or a skin infection. Without a picture, your best bet is to start with visit to a foot specialist.

Question 6

why does my callus on ball of my foot/under 2nd toe hurt so bad when i rub it around the edges? esp near the top near my toes. does it have deep core?

Accepted Answer

Neuroma: It sounds like the pain is really coming from a neuroma due to the fact you have pain on the top of your foot above the area. The callus is present due to aberrant pressure to the area and often coincides with neuromas in the 2nd interspaces. See a podiatrist and a series of alcohol injections can rid you of the pain. A neuroma is a scarring and enlargement of the common digital nerve.

Question 7

trimmed callous on corn on bottom of foot. and pulled corn. there is a nerve imbedded in the tissue. i can see it but it hurts too bad to touch. can i numb it somehow and trim it?

Accepted Answer

: You should see a doctor and not do this yourself. You don’t want to end up with a nerve injury. You can see a foot doctor to take care of this for you. Best of luck to you!

Question 8

i am a diabetic. is this pain in my feet normal? i can barely walk at times... i am a diabetic and i have calluses on my feet. they are located in the center area right below my toes. i've had them for a few years now. they neve were bad , but this passed

Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. You might wish to see a  podiatrist. If you are diabetic, it is best to have foot care done by a professional.  A podiatrist can work with the callouses. Injections is an option. However, an adjunct to your care could be medical acupuncture. It is performed by do's and md's and can be helpful with a variety of sources of foot pain including neuropathic pain.

Question 9

i get calluses in between my little toes that i cut off periodically  sometimes  it hurts  so bad it sends pain thru my  whole foot  and leg shake?

Accepted Answer

Helloma Molle: Its a condition where calluses form between the little toes of the feet.  They result from the underlying bone of the opposing toes rubbing against each other.  Aside from removing the calluses, you could try padding the area.  If nothing helps, a podiatrist could perform a small procedure to remove portions of the underlying bone which are causing problems.

Question 10

how to grow foot calluses really fast?

Accepted Answer

Not sure : Why anyone would want this but they come from pressure/ friction usually over bony prominences or under areas of increased pressure.
