i'm not sure if it is a callus, but there is extra skin forming at the ball of my foot and it hurts a LOT whenever I walk. The skin is a little white....how can i get rid of it right now? i read foot powder or something works...or soaking...?? HELP!

i would try rubbing it with a pumice stone, or bath & body works has a foot scrub i really like called toe the line that really helped get rid of my calluses
also, if the calluss doesn't go away and it doesn't stop hurting i would go to a doctor or a foot specialist
good luck!

soak it in water till its soft and then cut it off with a razor blade. do it in layers so you don't go to deep and slice your foot open. also make sure the blade is sterile and put some antiseptic on your foot when done just in case.

if your brave, you can trim it down with a razor blade, I'm a wuss, I use the black nail files for acrylic nails, they sand callouses right down. My husband prefers metal foot files that sorta grate the excess skin off (gross)

If it feels like you are walking on a rock, it is probably a plantar wart.

either get creme (this might sound weird) or put conditioner on your caluses and let it dry for 15 minutes
