2. See a Podiatrist

If you want the callus gone quickly or if it hurts, visit a podiatrist. The foot doctor will shave off the layers of skin. Of course, there are tools called callus shavers that you can purchase at the drugstore to remove them yourself, but you’ll have to be very diligent about disinfecting both your foot and the tool. While a callus can be annoying or unsightly, a foot infection can be a huge inconvenience as you will likely end up at the doctor’s office, not to mention the time off your feet.

Treating a corn follows the same steps as a callus for the most part. Doctors sometimes apply salicylic acid to a corn after shaving it to help slough off skin. Again, there are salicylic acid products in drugstores that you can buy but be very careful with them as misuse can cause burns or overly irritate the skin.

4. Donuts for Your Feet
