For many, sandal season is approaching, which means it’s time to address any calluses — new or recurring — that you might have on your feet.
While calluses typically don’t create medical issues, they can be annoyingly stubborn, which is why dermatologists and podiatrists often see patients complaining about them. To help you find the best products for preventing and treating foot calluses, we asked a board-certified dermatologist and a podiatrist about what causes the annoying build up of hard, dry skin on your feet. Furthermore, we asked them to share the products they recommend to their own patients — including pumice stones, files, and creams — and break down which items aren’t worth your money and may even cause damage.
