What causes calluses and can they be safely removed?

A- Calluses are formed by increased pressure on bony prominences caused by various foot deformities. Routine trimming, hydrating the skin with cream or lotion and padding around the lesion will alleviate pressure to the area. Arch supports may also alleviate pressure to calluses. If these treatment modalities are unsuccessful, the underlying bony deformity can be addressed and corrected.
