I'm talking about a small round spot on the bottom of the foot. It's hardened, thicker skin (in case anyone didn't know what a callus is, heh). It's on the inside ball of the foot. It has been there for 2 months and won't go away.
I got it when I wore heels one day and there was a pebble stuck in my shoe for too long. I didn't remove it because it only caused a slight pinching sensation; and I honestly just thought it was the shoes themselves causing it.
Anyway, now I want it to GO AWAY... but it won't budge, and at times even seems to get worse (after seeming to get better). It hurts a little bit too. Does anyone have advice that actually WORKS? Thanks.

Mix olive oil and salt together until it is like a paste and massage it all over your foot and then rinse. I am a manicurist and this is what we use in the salon for pedicures. It works well and it is economical. It will only remove the depth of the callous that should be removed. If you remove to much at once with a file etc. the area will become sore. It's great to use this over your entire body in the shower to exfoliate also. Just be careful not to slip.
Enjoy!

Get a pedicure at a salon. They have special exfoliants as well as special tools that can scrape that skin off.

Buy a pumice stone and scrub your feet with it in the shower. It will do the trick.
