They are NOT dirty... but they are callused and yellow. I know why they are callused.. but why are they yellow? What causes that? Anyone know?

Its a build up of keratin. The yellowing is actually fungus, most likely a dermatophite. It sometimes looks like calloused and dry skin but if it yellow, according to a dermatologist and podiatrist it is an infection. Early on an over the counter spray/cream and pedicure set can and will help. If its been going on awhile, you may need to see a doc.

Its dead, hardened skin. A pedicure will help or buy a pedicure kit.
