A member asked:

I have a hard protruding callus on my foot that makes it very painful to walk. besides going to a foot doc what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You need to make : Sure it is a callous and not something else. If its a callous and you are not diabetic you can attempt to remove it yourself or file it. A podiatrist would be able to do that painlessly for you though....
