Question 1

Many things: The dark brown could indicate bleeding which happens when a wound is beneath a callus or within a wart. Any pigmented lesion should be examined by a doctor

Accepted Answer

: These may be calluses and may require different shoes. It would be prudent to consult a podiatrist for an evaluation and advice about proper shoes.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 3

good day
i have a small lump/ callus type thing growing on my heel. its slightly yellow in color but hard to see. it is swollen/stif and very sensitive when i stand on it or touch it. i have no idea what it can be. doesnt look like puss inside?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can examine: Possibly a wart? A wart is a lump on the skin caused by papilloma viruses (it sometimes spreads to others). A corn is a lump of dead skin material formed where there is repeated pressure or friction on the skin (happens without viruses). Both types of lumps can push into the bottom of a foot because on the sole, a person stands or walks on the lumps all day.

Question 4

doctors, what are these unpoppable callous-like blisters on my feet?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: These include fungus, allergic reaction/contact dermatitis as well as other systemic conditions. See podiatrist or dermatologist.

Question 5

i have a thick callus on my foot and it has been there about 3 weeks. cut like border is growing on one side and there is pain. what is it? erase it?

Accepted Answer

Reduce the callous: With a pedegg or similar device then dress the crack with some vaseline or antibiotic ointment daily. This should help. If it does not, you  ought consider seeing a good podiatrist.

Question 6

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 7

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 8

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.

Question 9

how do i soften the calluses on my feet?

Accepted Answer

Calluses: You may soak your feet in luke warm water with a couple of scoops of epsom salt - itcan help soften your feet.

Question 10

how can i quickly cure calluses on foot?

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!
