Posted on Sat, 7 Sep 2013

Question: Hello Doctor, I've lumps on my arms and forearms, a couple on my legs. An year back i consulted a general physician and he told me that it's callous -- something like dead muscle/skin -- and won't harm. But i'm a bit comcerned as the size of lumps hasn't reduced. Pls advice.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

A callous of the skin also called Corn is a collection of dead skin and occurs due to continuous friction.

Applying Salicylic acid based cream like Salex twice daily over the lesions would help to get rid of the corn.

Hope, I answered your query.
