The 2025 Home Plan: Soften, Buff, Protect (No Cutting, No Drama)
If it looks like a corn/callus (hard yellow skin, pressure spot, no black dots), home care often works.
Step 1: Warm Soak
Soak the foot in warm water for about 10–15 minutes. Epsom salts are optional, but many people like them because the soak feels soothing.
Step 2: Gentle Pumice “Buff”
Use a pumice stone very gently—think “polish,” not “grind.”
You’re removing only the top dead layer, not trying to erase it in one session.
Step 3: Moisturize Like You Mean It
At night, use a moisturizer designed for thick skin. Many foot creams contain urea, which helps soften hardened keratin over time.
Put on a clean cotton sock after applying it so it stays in place.
Step 4: Fix the Cause (Or It Comes Back)
- Stop using the borrowed shoes.
- Check your son’s usual shoes for tight toe boxes or rubbing seams.
- Use thicker socks temporarily if friction is the issue.
Now for the “Nana remedy” people love—because it sounds old-school but is basically mild chemistry.
