Question 1

Accepted Answer

X-rays : X-rays will determine if there is an underlying bone deformity or structural problem.  This, in most cases, is the cause of the calluses and this can be corrected.

Podiatrist: It is probably related to your shoe type. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you. You may wish to see a podiatrist for evaluation and treatment.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Question 3

how do you remove a callous on the heels?

Accepted Answer

Try: to remove them with pumice stone or Emory board after you bathe. When the skin is soft it is the best time to do so. Also cream with uric acid or any emulsifying creams will also help. See a podiatrist for further evaluation. If the callus is too thick, debridement by a podiatrist is needed. also it is a good idea to have it checked out and make sure it is callus

Question 5

what do i do to remove callus on my cheek?

With laser: If you eliminate the cause of callus such as cheek biting, the constant turnover rate of oral tissue will cause the callus to go away by itself.  In rare case, laser is the best tool to remove callus without problem of bleeding.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Question 7

how can you remove calluses from feet permanently?

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.  You can make them less painful with the use of moisturizers after getting your feet wet to the dry/callused areas.  Or use of a pumice stone daily after getting your feet wet as well.  I would not advise you take a razor to your feet!

Question 8

how to remove callous from the bottom of my feet ?

Accepted Answer

Scrape or sand.: If very thick you can use a sharp blade to shave this down to pain. If relatively thin there are a number of devices one can purchase at the beauty supply store. Some look like microplane cheese graters and others like coarse blocks of sandpaper.

Question 9

Question 10

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.
