Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
If the callus is there for a few years and there is no itching or oozing then surgical resection is the best way to get rid of it. You can consult a plastic surgeon in this regard. Otherwise it can also be removed by Laser removal under the guidance of your dermatologist.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
