fuel925 Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 heat up a knife over a fire, and cut/saw them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt74441 Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 They go away over time, but they form by constant rubbing on that section of skin. I used to get them on the palms of my hand in the summer, and it was from riding my bike. If its on your foot, get bigger shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadiz Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Yeah, over time they will go away on their own, if you stop doing whatever caused them in the first place ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#Michael Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 do you use alot of hand cream? Go to your local drugstore and purchase a pumise (?) stone or callus shaver. It will help remove them. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soviet Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Go to your local drugstore and purchase a pumise (?) stone or callus shaver.It will help remove them. :yes: pumise works good. Soak your callused area in hot water for a few minutes (long shower). Then rub with pumise and alot of the calloused skin will rub off. Repeat for a few days and they will be gone.

threetonesun Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Calluses = good. Any guitar player can tell you that. I have some massive ones on my feet since I walk barefoot a lot, but they just help you soft skin from getting harmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frease Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 do you use alot of hand cream? I do use those cos' my skin is dry. Don't tell me those lotions can prevent calluses? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZTrang Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Calluses = good. This is correct. A callus is an indication that you are frequently rubbing the skin in that area against something, and the body has produced the callus to protect itself. If you sand the callus down and then continue the rubbing, your skin will get hurt and could possibly even form an open wound. I assume that you knew this, and that the calluses are remnants of a time when you were rubbing against the skin in that area a lot, but not anymore. Otherwise, you'll have very nasty problems with the skin in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
