Calluses — how to remove them safely

Calluses are thickened areas of skin that appear due to pressure on specific parts of the foot. They are most common on heels and the balls of the feet and may cause discomfort while walking.

It is important not only to remove calluses but to do it safely, without damaging the skin.

Why do calluses appear?

• pressure on certain areas of the foot;
• tight or uncomfortable shoes;
• long periods of standing or walking;
• dry skin;
• foot load distribution.

How the problem develops

At first, the skin becomes rough. Over time, the thickened area grows and may cause discomfort.

How to remove calluses safely

Professional pedicure

The safest and most effective way is professional treatment. It allows careful removal of rough skin without damage.

Regular care

Maintaining the result requires moisturizing and consistent care.

Comprehensive approach

It is important to eliminate the cause — for example, change footwear or reduce pressure.

What you should avoid

• cutting the skin yourself;
• using aggressive treatments;
• ignoring the problem;
• over-drying the skin.

When to see a specialist

• if there is discomfort;
• if the skin is very rough;
• if the problem returns;
• if home care does not help.

Prevention

• regular pedicure;
• daily moisturizing;
• comfortable shoes;
• balanced foot load.
