How do you remove a callous on the heels?

Try: to remove them with pumice stone or Emory board after you bathe. When the skin is soft it is the best time to do so. Also cream with uric acid or any emulsifying creams will also help. See a podiatrist for further evaluation. If the callus is too thick, debridement by a podiatrist is needed. also it is a good idea to have it checked out and make sure it is callus

Healing the heel.: There is more that one reason a callus forms on the heel. It often occurs with deep cracking that can be painful. The treatment is different than other types of callus due to the dynamics of the heel. Many times a heel cup is needed along with a urea compound to soften and help heal the tissue. To remove all doubt, have your heel evaluated by a foot specialist.
