A member asked:
I have small stone like calluses on the balls of my feet to the right/left sides. they cause a lot of pain. can they be removed surgically?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It could be removed surgically although it can recur because it is caused from constant pressure on the dependent spots. After getting surgical removal, consistent use of wart cream ( urea 20% for example) could help softening the calluses and decrease the speed of recurrence. Good luck !
