Footlogix Footlogix Callus Softener 18 (Callus Off), 6 oz

Product Information

But first, you should know that all of the dermatologists we spoke with agreed that if you’re dealing with severe calluses, your best plan of action is to head to a medical professional for a proper removal procedure. When it comes to removing layers of skin, safety is paramount — especially if you have diabetes or sensitive skin — and treating calluses with DIY removers has the potential to lead to infection if handled improperly. If a corn or callus persists or becomes painful despite your self-care efforts, medical treatments can provide relief: Healthline has strict sourcing guidelines and relies on peer-reviewed studies, academic research institutions, and medical associations. We avoid using tertiary references. You can learn more about how we ensure our content is accurate and current by reading our editorial policy. If you have diabetes or another condition that causes poor blood flow, consult your health care provider before treating a corn or callus on your own.

Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time each day.

Use corn pads. Apply a donut-shaped foam pad to protect the area where a corn or callus formed. Be careful using nonprescription liquid corn removers or medicated corn pads. These contain salicylic acid, which can irritate healthy skin and lead to infection, especially in people with diabetes or other conditions that cause poor blood flow. You can protect healthy skin by applying petroleum jelly (Vaseline) to the area around the corn or callus before using a medicated pad. Removal method: There are two main ways to remove dead skin when it comes to callus removers. Mechanical or manual methods involve physically removing dead cells with the use of abrasive tools such as foot files, scrubs, and pumice stones. On the other hand, chemical methods include topical creams, gels, and peels that use active ingredients to induce the shedding of skin layers. Boules M, Batayyah E, Froylich D, et al.
