How To Remove Calluses Naturally

May 14, 2009


Calluses are dry rigid areas on the skin. They mostly appear on your hands and feet. Rigorous strain on your skin causes the area to get hard and rough causing a tiny bump to appear on that area.

In severe cases it may begin to ooze puss, hence you must take the utmost care of it. There are a few things that you can do to get rid of the calluses naturally and avoid a visit to the doctor. A simple procedure will take you about an hour to complete but it will leave you free of calluses and hopefully prevent any occurrence in the future.

Now you need to wash the area well with soap and warm water. Remove all the dirt from the skin so that you are germ free. Use a disinfectant in the water to get rid of even the minute germs.

After washing the skin you must wipe it dry, even the slightest amount of moisture can cause the puss to spread the best thing you can do is to wipe it dry and place your hands under a hand dryer for a few seconds to ensure that your hands are completely dry.

Soak your hands in warm water and baking soda for about half and hour. The baking soda will soften the skin on the affected area making it easy to remove it. After about half an hour remove your ands from the water and pat them dry.

Leave a little moisture on your hand. Rub a pumice stone gently in circular motions on the affected area. Increase the intensity as the dry skin begins to peel. Do this till you have eliminated all the dry skin.

Wash your hands with warm water and soap and wipe them dry. Use a moisturizer after they are dry and put on gloves for a few minutes to allow the cream to penetrate into your skin.
