What do you suggest if i used salicylic acid to take a chunk of ball of foot sole?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a good idea: The salicylic acid, will remove skin problems such as warts potentially. However you may be putting acid, on just a callous which is a skin reaction to stress or friction most likely from a bony issue. Do not try to defeat a skin reaction with acids. See your local area podiatrist to find out what you have.
