General information about
calluses
Calloused skin is normal, especially on the feet. However, it
should not become too thick or hard. Both of these conditions can
cause pain.
Causes
An increase in calloused skin can be caused by the wrong shoes,
obesity, an incorrect gait, bone deformations or extremely dry
skin. Should you suffer from an increase in calloused skin, you
should search for the causes and try to eliminate them. Also ask
your doctor.
Prevention
• Regular foot baths refresh and relax your feet.
• Moisturise your feet regularly (especially after every foot
bath).
• Make sure that your shoes fit well and, if possible, change
your shoes daily.
