What Causes Numbness After Removing Callus From Feet?
Ok so both of my feet on the fourth to was callous on it so I would always sand it off with a ped egg or a pumice stone. And then trim off the callous sometimes with these special clippers. ( I know probably shouldn t do that but I did).Now for a few week s its been numb or a something it feels weird. And I work in a hospital and am a runner so I wear good good shoes. What should I do to stop the numbness?

Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, this numbness could be of neural origin, or due to damage to small sensory nerves while removing the callous, but in both of these circumstances, this will dampen with time, do not be worried if you do not have any pain.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
Thanks
