What Causes Calluses And Corns On The Soles Of The Feet?
I am a non- diabetic 76 year old black male. The soles of my feet develop corns, callusses, scaly heels, and are tender when I walk on them. I have tried coco-butter with vitimin E which does not help at all. This condition causes me to feel awkard when I walk and Look awkard as well. What causes this and what can I do about it?

Hi.
As per your case history of callus and scaly heels, my treatment advice is -
1. Apply an emollient cream like Enmoist cream twice daily on feet.
2. Apply a salicylic acid plus lactic acid lotion like Salactin paint on callus once at night.
3. Take a vitamin A supplement once daily for 2 months.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks.
