Please see the detailed answer below...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and I understand your concern..

As per your history you have calluses which usually develop from repeated friction, rubbing or irritation and pressure on the skin. Corns and calluses typically form on the bony or prominent areas of feet.

For that i would suggest you to Apply a moisturizing cream or lotion to the callus and surrounding dead skin every day.

Look for products that contain urea, salicylic acid, or ammonium lactate. These ingredients will soften the skin over time.

Wear proper shoes which are well cushioned, avoid long standing periods.

Soak and wash your feet properly..

If still you do not get relief then kindly consult with a physician.

Hope this helps you.

Regards,
Dr Shyam Kale
