Surgery foot calluses?!


Question: I have SEVERE calluses on my feet and am going to see a podiatrist this week(again). I want to know if anyone has had surgery to remove foot calluses and if so, how was the surgery? Was it worth it? Did they come back?

I am trying OTC remedies and anything I can think of but these things are painful! I want your serious input only please. If you have a remedy that's worked for you, let me know I am always looking for ideas! Thanks in advance.

There are several foot callus treatments. One of the first treatments for foot callus is wearing shoes with a soft insole such as running or walking shoes. These types of shoes should be worn as much as possible. If you cannot wear athletic shoes, then at a minimum wear shoes with soft insoles.

Another foot callus treatment is trimming the callus. With trimming a sharp instrument is used to trim the callus tissue. By trimming the callus tissue, the pressure over the bone is greatly reduced giving temporary pain relief. This type of treatment should only be done by your doctor. If conservative foot callus treatments fail, surgery may be required. This can eliminate the pressure over the bone.
