Health Advice for Callus

Plantar warts are whitish, hard, small growths that are caused by a viral infection on the plantar surface of the foot. These warts are very sensitive to pressure and once removed they keep on occurring in the form of callus. Callus is a thickened and hard build up of skin that is caused due to excessive pressure or rubbing on a bony prominence.




There are many home remedies for callus. You can try some of the following most effective and useful cures for callus:

  • At the end of the day, your feet become a bit swollen because of hectic schedule. So, make sure that you buy your shoes when your feet are largest.


  • Wear shoes that are properly fitted comfortable.
  • While wearing shoes, your toes should wiggle freely.
  • Avoid any kind of high heels or pointed shoes.
  • Always keep your feet dry and don't allow them to rub against your shoes.

  • Rub away the common skin build up areas on the feet before they actually turn into callus.
  • You can even use pumice stone to peel off the dead skin.
