Having calluses on your feet and other parts of your body is normal. They might keep you from confidently rocking your favorite sandals but most of the time, calluses are painless and harmless. But If they’re left untreated, they can become painful.
At Silver Spun® Goods we’re committed to helping you boost your foot health. That’s why we’re knitting the healthiest socks you’ll ever wear. We’re also sharing informational blogs to help you care for your feet the right way.
In this blog, we’re covering everything you need to know about calluses and the most effective way to treat your calluses at home—podiatrist-approved! If your calluses are painful, don’t treat them yourself. Instead, make an appointment with your podiatrist.
Calluses are thick, hard patches of built-up skin. More often than not, calluses show up on your heels and the outside of your big toes. They can look like dry skin but with a yellowish-red color and if you touch them, you can feel how the texture is different.
Calluses aren’t necessarily bad—but if they crack and get too thick, they can be painful. They’re there to protect your bones from pressure in certain areas of your body. Having calluses is perfectly normal, but to keep your feet in great shape, you don’t want to let them build up too much.
First, rest assured that calluses on your heels and other parts of your feet and body are extremely common. Virtually everyone has them.
Most of the time, calluses grow because of repeated pressure and friction—which your feet probably experience a lot. If your shoes aren’t the right fit for you, that might be the cause for calluses showing up over and over again.
High heels could also be a cause of calluses on your heels. Make sure to give your feet a break from high heels—especially if they’re uncomfortable. If you need to wear them for a long time, switch between heels and low-heeled shoes to give your feet a rest.
Although calluses are normal and they don’t need to be treated (unless they’re painful), some people don’t like the way they look.
These are a few things you can do to prevent calluses:
Calluses are hardened layers of skin that grow from the constant pressure and friction your feet are exposed to. And if you don’t treat them promptly, they grow, giving your feet a dry, cracked look. Plus, they can be very painful.
But don’t worry because we have the best remedy for calluses. This remedy comes from the book “My Feet Are Killing Me” by Dr. Suzanne M. Levine. Before writing this blog, we gave this calluses recipe a try and it really works.
