After a good bath and soaking the feet, scrub them with a pumice stone and soap. This will start the process of getting the dead skin off of your feet. Dry your feed and immediately apply a moisturizer; then cover with vasaline lightly. Put on a good pair of cotton socks for bed. If you do this every night for a week or so, your feet will feel like a babies. You go girl!

I use two methods - sometimes alone and sometimes together.
1) Put vaseline on your heels at night and weara pair of socks to bed. Your feet / heels will be softer in the AM. You might need to do this for 2 or 3 nights.
2) Get yourself a good foot emery board. They are not expensive and can be found in beauty supply houses and drug stores. Start filing away every couple of days. Do this when your feet are dry for the best results. I do mine outside since quite a lot of skin and callous comes off each time.

Treatment
If you are not diabetic, use of pumice stone after bath is a simple method to rub and remove the hardened skin. You need to remove the hardened thick skin slowly by using a pumice stone everyday. You can also apply AHAs such as glycolic acid, etc. to slowly remove the corns and calluses. Keratolytic creams containing urea, salicylic acid or lactic acid can also be used. Talk to your doctor about what formulation is best for you. If the corn becomes painful, very thick and hard, your doctor may cut it. If there is a bone problem that is causing corns, your doctor may decide to cut that.

Like many if not most adults, I have had this problem also. I spent a month in Europe barefoot on sandy beaches this summer and realized when I got home, the calluses were gone!
Wish I could write you a prescription for that cure.
The advice listed above is accurate. No secrets, just gotta get that old dead and thick skin off of there.

Get a prescription fo Urea Gel 4% or Urea Cream 4% from a podiatrist. After cleaning your feet and drying them well, rub it in until it is fully absorbed. You can put on clean dry socks after med. dried. I wouldn't recommend pedicures to remove it with the razor because it just grows back. It is extra keratin that you are seeing when you get calouses. When it's not so dry you'll have less build up. Hope this helps you.
