Hi.
As per your case history of callus, my treatment advice is -
1. Wear soft footwear to avoid pressure on callus.
2. Apply a salicylic acid plus lactic acid lotion like Salactin paint on the affected part once daily.
3. Use a pumice stone once a week for scrapping the callus.
The above treatment for 8-10 weeks will help you to cure the callus.
Thanks.
