Very often, in the presence of certain factors, calluses form on the toes. They can be of two types: wet and dry. A wet callus is presented in the form of a bubble with liquid, which is usually punctured by treating the needle and skin with antiseptic agents. Dry calluses, also often called corns, are a little more difficult to remove. Special means or even medical procedures may be used. There are several reasons that contribute to the appearance of such a growth, as well as methods of treatment.
Callus removal is carried out in different ways
A dry callus is a hardened area of skin consisting of dead skin cells. Often dry calluses between the toes appear when wearing uncomfortable shoes, namely:
Dry calluses appear when there is regular friction or pressure on the skin. A fairly common type of corn is a bunion - a dry callus localized near the big toe. It is formed in most cases when wearing high-heeled shoes. The seal is very painful and over time can lead to deformation of the foot, which requires timely and proper treatment. It is also very common for a callus to appear between the toes.
The main reasons are the following:
Dry callus is grayish in color and insensitive because it consists of dead cells. If such a growth is not treated, over time it may begin to crack, which causes pain. Often a dry callus transforms and develops a core that penetrates deep into the epidermis. When walking, this brings discomfort and often pain.
The appearance of corns is caused by fungal diseases, as well as a virus. In such cases, special treatment is necessary. Before removing a corn, you need to consult a specialist and rule out possible disorders in the body.
Excess weight puts extra pressure on the foot
How to remove dry callus on toe? If the callus is small and appeared relatively recently, it can be removed with pharmaceutical products. When calluses become denser or a core appears in them, it is often necessary to resort to medical procedures.
Such procedures are quite effective, especially if the dry callus on the finger is already advanced and requires special treatment. Minor corns can be removed with pharmaceutical products.
Hardware pedicure is suitable for removing small calluses
In order to remove the callus between the toes yourself, you can use medications from the pharmacy. Now they are presented in a large assortment. Their main task is to soften and further remove the growth. Creams and ointments are used very often. Below we will consider which of them are the most popular.
The above drugs are very effective, but they must be used for a set period of time, since callus removal with a cream or ointment does not occur in one procedure.
Antipappilom destroys dead cells
Not only creams and ointments can be used to remove dry calluses. There are other means: solutions.
Super Celandine consists of aggressive alkali
Special pencils can be used in treatment. One of the most popular is Warner. This drug is classified as a refrigerant that can be used to perform cryotherapy at home. The product is applied to rough skin using a pen applicator, after which a bubble with liquid forms in its place. Over a set period of time, it gradually dries out and falls off. A similar drug is CryoPharma.
Anti-callus patches are especially popular. These include:
The action of the patch is very fast. It is glued to the problem area and after 3-5 days the dry callus on the finger can be removed along with the patch.
This is very convenient, as you do not need to constantly apply creams and ointments. Suitable for those people who are constantly away from home and do not have the opportunity to use other means.
Compide softens the skin
Very often, folk remedies are used to treat dry calluses. They help well in cases where the callus is not very advanced. You can do both foot baths and special compresses. Let's look at some of the most popular bath recipes.
A piece of aloe is applied to the steamed rub
In addition to baths, you can make various compresses and lotions. There are several effective recipes.
Folk remedies help with the appearance of calluses between the toes, so they are used very often. The downside to using such products is long-term use.
Compared to special medications, getting rid of dry calluses will not be as fast. The corns to be removed should always be thoroughly steamed. Removing a callus on your toe is not difficult, the main thing is to start treatment on time so as not to aggravate the problem.
Women go to great lengths for beautiful shoes. Wearing tight boots or shoes often causes calluses to form. A callus on your toe can be hard and rough, but it can also look like a blister filled with fluid.
In most cases, it causes a lot of inconvenience and sometimes causes pain, so you definitely need to find a way to remove it.
Before finding out how to get rid of calluses on your toes, let's find out what you absolutely should not do.
Most often, after discovering a callus, we simply cover it with a regular adhesive plaster and continue to wear tight and uncomfortable shoes. This action will only bring momentary relief; there will definitely be no benefit from the adhesive plaster.
If you do nothing, soon the soft watery callus on the little finger or any other finger will turn into an old formation, which will be even more difficult to get rid of.
You need to stick the patch on the callus and do not remove it for 2 days. To completely soften the callus, you can repeat the procedure (up to 4 times).
In this case, the right decision would be to visit a doctor or cosmetologist. A specialist will be able to remove the callus without much difficulty, and the conditions will be sterile. He will also treat the wound and give you recommendations for foot care.
Many people prefer to treat calluses on their toes using folk remedies, since they are safer for the body and are often no less effective than medicinal drugs.
Calluses on the foot can be removed by using softening baths. You will need sea salt or pine concentrate. In a liter of hot water you need to dilute 2 tablespoons of the desired component.

An effective remedy for calluses on the feet is propolis. It is necessary to stick natural propolis to the callus with an adhesive plaster. In just a couple of days the formation will disappear.
To speed up the process of removing calluses, you can scrape the stratum corneum of the skin with a pumice stone daily. But do it carefully.
Most people don't know what to do when calluses appear on their feet - however, it is best to treat immediately before the skin gets too hard. Aloe effectively fights fresh calluses. The alo leaves need to be thoroughly washed, then the film removed from them so that only the wet pulp remains. Steam the skin on your leg and apply a bandage with aloe pulp. Bandage and leave it like that overnight.
Calluses between the toes and elsewhere can be treated well with lemon. First, it is recommended to take a warm softening bath, then apply a bandage with lemon zest and pulp to the callus.
There is another option using citrus fruits. You need to mix lemon juice with onions, previously chopped in a blender. Apply this ointment for calluses on the feet on gauze and apply it to the formation, then bandage it. This treatment of dry calluses on the feet is carried out for 3 days (necessarily at night). Upon completion, you need to remove the callus using a pumice stone.

It’s funny to read reviews when people write that a miracle remedy took and removed a dry callus-corns in one go and the callus doesn’t grow anymore!)) It grows, of course, where does it go (((If there is a load on this part of the foot, and is not compensated in any way - the stratum corneum will grow.This is how the body protects itself.
You can figure out how to soften this callus more easily and remove it carefully. Maybe, of course, there are magic remedies that slow down cell division, then yes - I believe that it can help.
Anna, I agree with you! By the way, there really are products that effectively soften corns and calluses. These are the so-called keratolics. For example, uroderm, which contains 30% urea, gives a very good and quick effect.
Seriously slow down. ))) I wrote at random)) How to use them? Or do they just soften?
There is nothing complicated. I do foot baths. Sometimes I add aroma oil or herbs. Then I lubricate it with uroderm and put on socks. When there were very problematic corns, I also wrapped them in film. Now I just apply it as a preventive measure. In the morning, the skin becomes so soft that I can easily remove all excess with a pumice stone. Well, or a nail file.
What have I not tried? And ointments and cream and patch. …. nothing helped. Until I got to see a doctor in Germany. They solve this radically. Laser therapy does not guarantee 100% that it will not appear again. Three months later they appear again. But they are surgically removed once and for all. Yesterday I had my second surgery. The first leg has already healed and does not hurt. Finally, I can use my leg normally without pain. You only need to survive the injection. Very painful. And the first day after the OP. And voila, the calluses are gone forever....
And at one time I was touched by such a problem. What I didn’t do. Until I bought callus 911 at the pharmacy, it removes calluses and corns well. Even my grandmother’s callus was so old that nothing could get it out, but even it gave in and went away.
Everyone has their own proven remedy for fighting calluses. But simple steaming didn’t help me, and I rubbed it with a pumice stone, but it grew again and hurt. I bought a Salipod callus patch at the pharmacy. My only regret is that I didn’t know about it earlier. In just 2 days it softened the callus, then I rubbed it with a pumice stone and that’s it, the heel became clean and smooth. I really liked it, and it’s not expensive at all.
We all encounter calluses at one time or another. They bother me in the summer because of wearing open shoes. But I save myself with warm baths and pumice stones, nothing complicated, expensive and at the same time effective.
Verka, we talked about a good plaster below - it’s called Salipod. I’m sure that once you try to get rid of dry calluses with its help, and then you will always buy it) I’ve been doing this myself for several years;) It will get rid of even the hardest calluses. Softens the skin very well.
I’m generally afraid to remove these calluses, so I walk around with them - one goes through, the other comes out(
There is a good remedy, cheap and proven over the years - the Salipod patch. You can buy it at the pharmacy for RUB 40 and apply it according to the instructions. And no calluses. I use it often and it’s cheaper than its analogues.

I also used Namozol-911 cream for corns; it works great for corns. Very pleased. It softens the callus and peels it off layer by layer. The most important thing is to take care of your feet and not bring them to a deplorable state.
Hello, you can also try to get rid of dry calluses using Baby Foot Japanese pedicure socks. My mother was advised at the pharmacy when she was buying another product to buy socks. And she tried. It helped, my feet are like when I was a child! And most importantly, the painful callus went away after several procedures.
And I use Japanese Baby Foot pedicure socks. Innovation. Replacement of salon pedicure. Anything goes. And dry calluses and corns and cracked heels go away. The feet are tender, pink, soft. Beauty - I'm delighted!
Great article! The only thing I would like to add is that there are also gels for dry calluses, which soften the dry skin and peel it off, and then it becomes very easy to clean everything from the heels with a file. This miracle cream is called Namozol 911, it softens and removes calluses very well.
Very interesting article!
I also found an interesting recipe for removing calluses.
Steam your feet well, wipe them dry and cut off calluses with nail scissors (be sure to disinfect them in an alcohol solution). After removing the calluses, apply a callus plaster to the area (or mix salicylic powder with tomato juice or fat). After 3-4 days, the calluses will soften significantly and they can be removed without much difficulty or pain.
I removed it with Wartner TCA gel. It turned out to be quite effective. You need to apply it for 4 days in a row and don’t forget to rub your heels with a file. I used a jagged iron one. Like a grater)) The gel softens and perfectly cleanses rough skin.
And a cream for dry calluses and corns helps me - Namozol-911, Moscow. All happiness for 65 rubles. the cream is deeply absorbed and provides soft, impeccably smooth heels, thanks to the healing components included in its composition - salicylic acid, sulfur, tea tree oil
I want to go to a cosmetologist for a consultation, it’s better if a professional looks at it, I’m afraid to remove something using traditional methods, I still know that a new callus can grow even larger than the previous one
I had dry calluses on my heels, the pain was terrible, they advised me a remedy and I got rid of it forever. Pour vinegar into a glass jar and put pieces of beef in there. I had two calluses. That is, I soaked four small pieces. Slightly larger, the size of the callus. It takes a day to soak. At night I applied the pieces. I glued them with an adhesive plaster. I actually put on socks so that they wouldn’t fly off. I took the meat one by one. I soaked one. I applied the other. Yes, before the procedures I steamed my legs, but not always. Then you will see. how the root of the callus will. come off, I I even picked out the dead parts. Try it and you will get rid of the terrible pain. I tested it on myself. Good health to all.
And at one time I was touched by such a problem. What I didn’t do. But, unfortunately, no one enlightened me about treatment with traditional methods. And I cut it off, fortunately it didn’t cause an infection, but the treatment was delayed. Very informative and useful article!
Of course, you can’t conduct acid experiments yourself, but professional acid pedicure lines can handle this too. So, anyone who doesn’t want to deal with calluses on their own can look for salons in their city that offer such pedicures. =)
A very effective way to treat dry calluses is to rub the callus at night with a cotton swab soaked in glycerin, alcohol and vinegar.
Not expensive, but very helpful. The callus removal procedure takes some time, but it is painless.
For a long time I suffered with pain on my finger, where there was a callus, and this helped me a lot. Now I recommend it to anyone who has this problem!
If a wet callus forms, I don’t pierce it, but wait until it goes away on its own. And if the callus has already become dry, I steam my feet, then carefully exfoliate it with a pedicure kit and lubricate the place where it was with cream.
And if lumps have already formed between the fingers, what should you do?
There is also a good way - using pharmaceutical products. For example, I recently found out about Wartner gel for dry calluses and decided to try it. And then I was on vacation, I was barefoot on pebbles and stones, and I brought back from the sea not only good impressions, but also calluses.
Fortunately, mine were not entirely wooden, but they were still unpleasant and peeling. So in a week I got my legs in order without any rough intervention.
Many people are concerned about the problem of a callus on their toe. It is a thickened area of keratinized skin, often caused by wearing uncomfortable shoes and causes a lot of unpleasant and sometimes painful sensations when walking.
There are wet and dry calluses. Wet calluses include bloody calluses, watery calluses, and abrasions. These are the types of calluses that usually appear on the big toe. A callus on the big toe is called a bunion and is the most painful of all types of calluses.
Why does a callus appear on the toe? There are two reasons for this: firstly, wearing new or tight shoes, which causes toe friction. The second reason is a metabolic disorder in the body.
A callus on a finger is a thick, hardened area of skin that feels dry or flaky and scaly. In some cases, calluses cause discomfort or pain. A callus is diagnosed by observing skin changes that are characteristic of the problem. Special tests are not required to determine the callus.
Treatment of calluses on the toes should be carried out with extreme caution, since the risk of infection is very high. How to cure a callus without dangerous consequences? There are many different methods for these purposes.
At all times, traditional medicine is the most common method of treatment. For example, you can remove a callus using the following folk recipes:
You can also cure calluses using pharmaceutical products. The main active component of these drugs is salicylic acid. The most common of them is an ointment for calluses, which must be applied to steamed skin to achieve a positive result. To avoid burning healthy tissue, it should be applied only to damaged areas.
Another affordable and highly effective treatment for wet and dry calluses on the toes is a patch. The medicine with which it is soaked softens the callus and has an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effect. The patch should be applied to the callus and not removed for 2-3 days.
If the cause of calluses is a metabolic disorder, you may need to consult a specialist who will prescribe the necessary medications and drugs to help get rid of this problem.
An old and ingrown callus requires treatment from a doctor, who can offer various procedures for removing calluses. The most effective of them are cryotherapy (removal of calluses using liquid nitrogen) and removal of calluses using laser. Cryotherapy involves burning dead tissue with liquid nitrogen. Some time after the procedure, new skin forms on the damaged area.
Laser therapy is a more progressive method of treating calluses. In this case, the tissues are not burned out, but evaporated from the layers of the skin, which contributes to the disappearance of the callus and the formation of new skin in this place.
You can also get rid of calluses using a special electrical device that can remove calluses of any type, smooth out rough skin, and soften hard and dry calluses on the toes.
After calluses on the fingers are cured, care should be taken to ensure that they do not appear again. To do this, when buying new shoes, you need to pay attention to the last - it should be comfortable and not tight. Also, so that the toe of the shoe does not squeeze your fingers, it should be a little loose.
To begin with, new shoes need to be broken in a little at home. It is better if the shoes are made from natural “breathable” materials. It is important to ensure that your feet do not sweat in closed shoes, since sweat is a breeding ground for the emergence and proliferation of bacteria and microorganisms.
Every person has at least once encountered such an unpleasant problem as calluses. Conventionally, they can be divided into several types. There are wet and dry calluses on the toes or hands. Although keratinization can occur on different parts of the body. They are formed equally in both men and women. Often, women who wear uncomfortable or poor-quality shoes have dry calluses on their toes. The disease is aggravated by excessive humidity. Men tend to develop calluses on their hands. As a rule, not everyone is in a hurry to get rid of the defect right away, not taking the problem seriously, and only over time they think about how to remove a dry callus on a toe, hand, or any other part of the body.
Most often, dry calluses appear on the toes or other places for the following reasons:
Calluses are conventionally divided into several types:
A soft callus is an area of skin filled with fluid. The moisture from the bubble gradually disappears, and the top layer becomes crusty and peels off. If the sore spot is not disturbed, it will regain its previous appearance. Otherwise, when the impact on the dropsy continues, the top layer hardens and a hard crust forms.
Dry calluses on the toes and other parts of the body are the stratum corneum of the skin resulting from prolonged mechanical stress. A callus looks like a small, hard lump. Such areas of skin are difficult to treat, but it is still possible to get rid of them without the participation of a surgeon. If the affected area has not been treated for a long time, then a rod will additionally form under the skin. Dry calluses on the toes cause a lot of pain. A photo of this problem can be found in a medical reference book.
A dry callus with a core is, as in the previous case, a keratinized, hard area of yellow or gray skin. It has a root, or so-called core. Such a callus gives patients a lot of discomfort, especially if it is on the foot. Dry calluses on the toes with a shaft cause no less discomfort. This type cannot be treated at home and requires surgery or long-term treatment with medications.
Corns are a type of dry callus that forms only on the feet, hence its name. Favorite localization sites are heels and toes. May appear on other parts of the leg. Corns occur as a result of wearing uncomfortable shoes, so mainly women suffer from this problem. This type of callus greatly spoils the appearance of the feet. In addition, old corns tend to crack. Such wounds bleed and cause discomfort. At this stage it is very difficult to get rid of this disease due to severe pain. Before starting treatment, it is necessary to perform a series of procedures to heal the cracks.
In order to get rid of this type of callus, as a rule, no treatment is required. It is enough just to exclude contact with the object that caused the problem. For example, wearing different shoes for a while. If this is not possible, then temporarily cover the dropsy with a band-aid. This will partially protect the skin from further adverse effects and various infections. At night the dropsy should be open. This will allow the wound to heal as quickly as possible.
You can get rid of dry calluses on your toes, hands and other parts of the body using the following methods:
Drug treatment includes the prescription of various creams and solutions. There are also special patches. Typically, the drug treatment regimen is as follows:
Before using any of the above products, your feet need to be steamed, washed well and dried. Then you should apply the medications prescribed by your doctor. If for some reason the treatment does not produce results, then they resort to other methods.
Cryotherapy is treatment with liquid nitrogen. The problem area of the skin is frozen within a few seconds. After this, the cells in the affected area die and tissue rejection occurs. As a rule, after a week there are no traces left of the rough patch of skin.
Laser therapy is a fairly effective way to get rid of this scourge. Everything happens very quickly. After laser treatment, the callus evaporates. This method is very convenient, but has a number of contraindications:
Quite often, dry calluses are removed in salons. There, rough areas of the skin are polished with a special apparatus. As a rule, after one visit to the salon the problem goes away. This method is quite simple, but does not exclude the possibility of injury to the affected area, as well as infection. Therefore, you need to carefully choose a salon and check the documents confirming the qualifications of the master.
The treatment of corns is no different from the treatment of dry calluses without a callus. The pharmacy sells a lot of creams and patches for this disease. Almost all creams contain salicylic acid 10% and benzoic acid. Before starting treatment, you need to steam your feet well, then apply various remedies. Many people ask the question: “How do corns, dry calluses on the toe get rid of? How to treat and with what? The most popular ointments for this disease:
You can use various pedicure socks. The best treatment for corns and dry calluses is prevention. You should wear high-quality shoes made from natural materials. Get a pedicure periodically. And it doesn’t matter whether it will be in an elite salon or at home.
It is difficult to get rid of such calluses using homemade and improvised means. Dry calluses on the toes are common. Treatment is usually done with medication. Usually this method is not very effective in treating old calluses. The most reliable are laser therapy and cryotherapy. Usually one visit is enough to get rid of this problem. Some resort to the help of a surgeon. A visit to the salon or a home pedicure, as a rule, does not solve the problem. In addition to all of the above methods, there are many folk remedies, but their effectiveness has not been proven. In any case, everyone chooses the method that is most suitable for themselves. Some people are afraid of surgeons and prefer to treat calluses with baths for years. And for some it’s easier to go to laser therapy once and forget about the problem forever.
Treatment of calluses with folk remedies is very common among the population. Treatment does not help everyone. As a rule, positive results can be achieved in the early stages of the disease.
How to remove dry callus on toe? Many people are interested in this. Lotions made from crushed lard and garlic will help solve the problem. You need to take a piece of lard the size of a matchbox and a couple of cloves of garlic. The ingredients are combined into a homogeneous paste. Apply the mixture to the callus at night. Repeat until symptoms disappear.

An old dry callus on the toe causes many problems. How to treat this problem with folk remedies? Many people are concerned about this question. As practice shows, in advanced cases, folk remedies are ineffective - it is better to consult a doctor. What do dry calluses on your toes look like? The photo below clearly demonstrates this.
It is generally accepted that calluses are formed mainly in the adult part of the population. Indeed, the skin loses its elastic properties over time. All metabolic processes in the body slow down. This is primarily reflected on our skin. Wounds and abrasions heal more slowly. The skin in areas of friction becomes rough, forming calluses and corns. Things are different for children. Every parent has repeatedly observed how their child’s knees and other troubles quickly heal. All thanks to a young healthy body. Despite this, children still develop calluses. The child’s hands suffer from the habit of climbing trees and fences. Uncomfortable shoes can cause dry calluses on your toes.
Treatment of such calluses is usually not required. Under no circumstances should you cut anything off. If the callus still causes discomfort to the child, then it is necessary to immediately consult a specialist. An experienced doctor will tell you how to remove a dry callus on your toe or elsewhere.
A root callus is a skin growth that most often appears in areas that are constantly in contact with tight shoes. People facing this problem experience constant discomfort and severe pain. The root of such a callus penetrates deep into the soft tissue (it begins to compress the nerve endings), and on the outside of the callus it is marked in the form of a funnel. The length of the rhizome of a skin growth directly depends on its age and location (on the feet, palms or fingers).
Calluses with roots on the feet appear due to regular mechanical impact on specific areas of the skin. Most often this happens due to wearing tight and uncomfortable shoes that rub while walking. Such calluses can also appear on the palms, particularly on the fingers. People who are used to working with their hands without protecting them with gloves may encounter such a nuisance.
A skin growth with a deep rhizome may appear in those people who have not treated wet calluses in a timely manner.
The reasons for the appearance of core calluses include the following factors:
The main danger of such a corn is its ability to grow deeply into soft tissue. Each person can detect a root callus based on primary symptoms and take effective measures to remove it:
If a person has a callus and does not pay any attention to it, then its rhizome can very quickly increase in size. This is due to the fact that when walking, constant pressure will be exerted on this skin growth. In the process of growing into soft tissue, the root begins to compress the nerve endings, thereby causing severe pain. In some patients, such calluses begin to bleed due to mechanical stress, and when infections get into the wound, they fester.
In the process of treating such calluses, one important nuance must be taken into account - they have deep roots, so traditional drug treatment will be powerless.
To remove root callus, you should use a modern technique, for example, a laser beam. Also, this category of patients, especially with advanced cases, is recommended to seek help from a highly specialized specialist - a podiatrist. This doctor will drill out even the deepest rhizome using a special cutter.
If a person notices a callus at a very early stage of development, he can try to remove it using traditional medicine recipes, medications and special patches (they are fixed on the surface of the callus, left for a certain period of time, and then removed along with the skin growths). In the process of dealing with root calluses (provided they are immediately detected), people can try ointments, liquids and creams made with salicylic acid.
Removing root calluses located on the feet or hands is a complex process that should be left to professionals. To do this, the patient must contact a clinic that specializes in this type of procedure. Currently, callus can be removed using modern techniques, such as:
The procedure for removing even old calluses does not take much time. As a rule, a specialist serves one patient for 10-15 minutes. If people do not decide to undergo such a procedure, this can lead to serious consequences, which can be eliminated with antiviral drugs and antibiotics.
If the patient has a fresh root callus that has not grown too deeply into the soft tissue, he can try to remove it himself. Experts recommend using callus plasters or celandine drops for these purposes, which can burn out skin growths.
Before carrying out such procedures, legs or arms on which pathological changes in the skin are observed should be thoroughly steamed.
For these purposes, it is better to use hot baths to which mustard powder has been added. After the callus has become very soft, it should be removed, and the root that appears on the surface of the skin must be burned out using drops of celandine. To prevent burns from occurring on healthy areas of the skin, this procedure must be carried out with the following precautions:
As for special patches, they should be used according to the instructions. A strip is glued to the surface of the callus and remains in this place for a long time. The medications present on the patch will have the desired effect on the skin growth. After the period specified in the instructions has expired, the patch must be removed along with the dead callus.
Every patient should know that drug treatment can bring a positive result only when the problem has been dealt with in a timely manner. This is due to the fact that fresh callus has a small rhizome that can be removed at home. Due to constant pressure, the shaft of the skin growth quickly increases in size and penetrates deep into the soft tissue. In this case, only constructive methods can help the patient get rid of the problem.
If the root callus was identified at the very initial stage of development, then people can try the most popular traditional medicine recipes at home:
To prepare this remedy, take a ripe tomato and chop finely. The resulting mass should be applied to the affected area of skin in the form of a compress (preferably overnight). Repeat the procedure until the callus completely falls off (it will come off in layers). It is recommended to grind the surface of the callus every morning after removing the compress with a pumice stone or a special file (you need to rub without fanaticism). To achieve a good result from this treatment, you need to steam the damaged area of skin before polishing.
To prepare this folk recipe, you need to bake a large onion in the oven. After this, the cooked vegetable should be cut in half. One part of the onion should be applied to the callus with a cut and left overnight. To prevent the onion compress from falling off during sleep, it is recommended to secure it with a gauze bandage, over which you should wear a very thick sock. The procedure must be repeated daily until the callus dies.
To prepare this healing remedy, you need to use the peel of one citrus. It should be scrolled through a meat grinder to make a paste. This substance should be used as a compress and applied daily to a pre-steamed foot (or other place where a callus has formed). During water procedures (it is recommended to use a soda-soap solution), you should scrape off the top layer of coarsened epithelium from the callus.
