Can you describe an effective medication for corns and calluses?

Hand lotion: Most over-the-counter corn removal products contain salicylic acid and can cause painful tissue burns if used improperly. You are better off using a pumice stone and moisturizing the area. If lesions are painful, see a podiatrist who can safely trim them and assess the cause. Sometimes, corns are due to toe deformities that can be corrected. Also, ensure your shoes don't fit improperly.

Moisturizing cream: You can use cream, lotion, or ointment. Ammonium lactate 12%, creams that contain urea. I do not recommend corn or callus removers. These products can damage surrounding skin and are especially dangerous to people with diabetes with poor circulation and lack of sensation in the feet. Since corns and calluses usually come from shoe gear causing pressure or shearing force, good fitting shoe wear.

Use caution: There are many preperations to use at the pharmacy. Use all of them with caution.

Lotion or surgery. : Corns and calluses occur because of pressure points. Surgery can fix this, but if you're not ready for that, trimming them down and regular use of lotion may soften them to the point they don't bother you. You can also try larger shoes that don't rub against the painful areas! offloading orthotics can also help: see your podiatrist for casting.
