Suggest Treatment For Hard Skin On The Foot And Pain While Walking

Posted on Sun, 4 Dec 2016

Question: I have a bump/harden-skin (points out, not into skin) that's on the bottom/ball of my left foot.. Walking with
slippers is a bit painful but not so bad with soled shoes since the bump is nearer to the middle
toe as oppose to the center of the ball. Would soaking my foot in a solution of Epsom salt and warm water
twice daily cause this bump to go away?
