Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history, you are having callosity. My treatment advice is:

1. Don't squeeze the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a salicylic acid plus lactic acid lotion like Salactin paint on affected region once at night.
3. Take a vitamin A supplement once daily for 3 months.

If problem persists, then consult a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
