Health Tip: Treating Calluses at Home

-- Calluses are thick, hardened layers of skin. For healthy people, treatment is only necessary if a callus causes discomfort, says Mayo Clinic.

Mayo suggests how to treat calluses at home:

• Use over-the-counter pads.
• Soak the area in water.
• Moisturize your skin.
• Wear comfortable socks and shoes.

For most people, removing sources of friction causes calluses to shrink and ultimately disappear.
