What Are Calluses?
Calluses are areas of hardened skin that develop to protect underlying tissues from damage caused by friction or pressure. They commonly form on the feet, particularly the heels, balls of the feet, and sides of the toes. Unlike corns, which are smaller and often painful, calluses are usually larger and less sensitive.
Key Causes of Calluses:
Footwear Choices: Tight or ill-fitting shoes can create friction and pressure.
Barefoot Walking: Walking barefoot on rough surfaces increases the likelihood of callus formation.
High Activity Levels: Athletes or individuals who stand for long periods are more prone to developing calluses.
Foot Structure: Certain foot shapes or gait patterns can contribute to uneven pressure distribution.
How to Care for Calluses
Proper care can reduce discomfort and prevent calluses from becoming overly thick or cracked. While home remedies can provide temporary relief, professional treatments are often more effective and safe.
At-Home Care:
Soaking: Soak your feet in warm, soapy water for 10-15 minutes to soften the skin.
Exfoliating: Use a pumice stone or foot file to gently remove excess skin.
Moisturizing: Apply a thick foot cream or lotion to keep the skin hydrated.
Footwear Adjustments: Choose well-fitted shoes with adequate cushioning.

Preventing Calluses
Prevention is key to maintaining smooth and healthy feet. Incorporate these tips into your routine:
Wear Proper Shoes: Ensure your shoes fit well and provide adequate support.
Use Insoles or Cushions: These can help distribute pressure more evenly.
Maintain Regular Foot Care: Schedule regular pedicures to keep your feet in top condition.
Protect Your Skin: Avoid prolonged exposure to friction or pressure.
