Foot Callus Removal
Generally, Calluses are growths of hard, thickened skin which is as a result of repeated friction or pressure. The ball of the foot (the plantar region) is situated in the sole of the foot, while your body weight is equally (more or less) distributed between your two feet. If any built-in (flat feet, bone deformities etc) or outer (shoe, socks etc) factors disrupt the weight distribution and shift the weight to areas not used to that pressure (such as the ball of the feet), it causes the skin to harden as a defensive measure, causing a callus on bottom of the foot. This newly hardened skin is called a plantar callus and is characterized by a yellow or grayish coloration.
