Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have formation of callus along with pain in the feet. Well treating painful calluses involves removing the cause of the pressure or friction and getting rid of the thickened skin. I would suggest you to consult podiatrist for proper examination . Doctor may trim a large corn with a scalpel , Doctor may also apply a patch containing 40 percent salicylic acid or doctor may suggest applying an antibiotic ointment . He/she may recommend shoe inserts or surgery in severe case.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
