Home Remedies for Calluses on Feet


1. Epsom Salt Soak
One of the easiest ways to treat a foot callus is to soak the affected area in warm water mixed with Epsom salt. It will help soften the area, thereby making it easier to scrub the hard skin away and keep your feet free from infection.
  • Put some hot water in a tub and add a handful of Epsom salt. Stir it thoroughly.
  • Soak your feet in this solution for 10 minutes.
  • Use a pumice stone to rub the affected area in a circular motion for a few minutes.
  • Wash your feet with clean water to remove the dead skin cells.
  • Pat dry and rub a thick foot lotion on your feet.
  • Repeat this remedy as needed until the callus heals completely.

2. Apple Cider Vinegar

You can also use apple cider vinegar to treat a callus. Its acidic nature helps soften the hard skin and speed up the healing process.

  • Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and tape it to your callus before going to bed.
  • Leave it on overnight.
  • The next morning, exfoliate the affected area with a pumice stone.
  • To keep the area moisturized, apply some olive oil or coconut oil.
  • Repeat once daily until your callus is gone.
