When to See a Professional

If a callus is severely painful, shows signs of infection (redness, pus), or if you have a condition like diabetes (which affects circulation), do not treat it yourself. Consult a Podiatrist  immediately.

Callus Removal

Calluses—those patches of hard, thick skin—are your body’s natural protection against friction. While they offer some defense, if they grow too thick, they can crack, tear, and cause pain, disrupting your training.

The goal is not to remove them completely, but to keep them smooth and manageable.

The 3-Step Removal Routine

Perform this routine regularly to keep calluses at a safe, protective thickness.

1. Soften the Skin

  • Soak: Soak your hands or feet in warm water for 5-10 minutes. The best time is right after a shower or bath when the skin is already soft.

  • Tip: Adding Epsom salts to the water can help enhance the softening effect.

2. File Gently

  • Exfoliate: Use a pumice stone or a specialized callus file on the softened skin.

  • Method: Rub the callus gently in a circular or side-to-side motion.

  • Caution: Stop when the callus feels level with the surrounding skin. Never cut, shave, or tear the callus off, as this can lead to bleeding and serious infection.

3. Moisturize

  • Hydrate: After filing, apply a high-quality moisturizing cream. Look for ingredients like Urea or Salicylic Acid, which help keep the skin supple and slow down the rapid hardening of new calluses.

  • Hands: Moisturize frequently, especially if you use chalk (which dries out the skin).
