How To Treat Calluses On The Bottom Of The Foot?

Yes thank you... I have painful callouses on the bottom of my feet... They are not a usual callouse such as are common with shoe wear etc... They feel like they are the result of slivers.. They feel like they have the silver still inside when I apply direct pressure on them. I am able to occasionally remove them by prying them out with my thumbnail....especially...when I soak my feet... and the callouse comes out like a small kernel..... I have been to a podiatrist twice... and have gotten no explaination or treatment.. this has been going on for years ... any idea you may have I appreciate ... Thank you ...

Brief answer:Consult Dermatologist and go for cautery..

Detailed answer:
Hi.. Thanks for asking us..

Dont worry.. Its usual for calluses to grow underneath skin surface just like a carrot.. With time depth of underneath extension increases..
They are caused by pressure of foot wear, sometimes genetic tendency where you can see callus with no reason.. It may be a type of wart looking like callus which is viral infection..

Dont use nails to peel it off which may infect callus..

Consult a Dermatologist and go for Cautery.. it can cause electrical burning of callus with its blood supply making sure callus doesnt grow again from its remaining.. its not painful as local anaesthesia will be given.. Dont get panic with word electrical burning :) It can put full stop for your years of suffering..
