Hi
Since your kid has developed a callus on toe, firstly it is very important to prevent any further trauma or friction to the area since this will increase the lesion even further.
You should make sure he wears proper canvas or cloth based shoes.
As far as the treatment options in children are concerned, it can involve gentle scrubbing the area with a pumice stone after dipping in warm water. You can try this if your kid allows.
