How the Attack Begins…
A callus is a small, painful bump that is raised on the outer layer of skin. The bump is a rough, thick patch of skin. Calluses are one of the major foot problems in the United States. Calluses usually appear on the balls of the feet, heels of the feet, knees, and the palms of hands. Though these are the most common spots for a callus to occur a callus can occur on any part of the body as long as irritation and or repeated pressure is made on one specific spot of the skin. Calluses don’t hurt as long as they aren’t played with, however if they are played with it can be somewhat to fairly painful. When a person is annoyed with dealing with a callus that’s when natural remedies come in handy.
Soften the Bump With Oils
Calluses can be treated with a few oils in order to soften it. The oils that can be used for calluses include castor oil, olive oil, wheat germ oil, and sesame seed oil. Apply any one of these oils to the small semi-painful bump as often as needed through out the day every day.
A Day At the Beach
Believe it or not some good old fashioned R&R (Rest and Relaxation) is quite useful for treating calluses. Take a break at the beach! Yes, the beach. Walk on the sand on the beach, preferably wet sand. The wet sand will act as an abrasion, which will help to remove dead skin.
Baking Soda Again?
Baking soda can be used to help treat so many different things, one of those things being calluses. Add two teaspoons of baking soda to a basin (or anything preferred to soak feet in), filling it half way with warm water. Soak the callus infected foot for roughly 20 - 30 minutes, however be sure not to exceed 30 minutes. After soaking the foot take a pumice stone and gently (be very careful) file away the hardened patch of skin.
