Callus on foot
Postby saywot » Sat Jul 07, 2012 11:55 am
It's getting bloody painful.
This can't possibly be due to cleat positioning could it?
- but I'm sure something new will come along !!

it's a corn then.
How the hell does one get a corn in the middle of the sole of the foot (it isn't but near enough for me to call it that)??

bollocks, callus can be very painful without there being a corn...greyhoundtom wrote:A callus in itself should not be painful, so if it sore to press on it is most likely a corn.

what could be causing this painful spot that's roughly over the cleat ?

I'm not sure what a "hotfoot" is, but there doesn't seem to be anything amiss with the shoe (but there's a bloody painful lump growing on the underside of the ball of my middle toe)Mulger bill wrote:Callus and corns are typically a response to friction and or pressure, do you get a hotfoot on that side? Is there by any chance something different on or in that shoe?

Time for an expert opinion methinks, good luck.

- Callus (or a corn)
The GP had a look, took a scalpel to it and said if it comes back have a go at it with a pumice stone.
He didn't know what caused the irritation but suggested that I might have had a splinter or something ages ago that caused an irritation, the callus formed over the sore spot and the wood is absorbed by the body but the skin deposits remain to irritate for ever and ever and ever (or until you take a sharp knife to them to slice them off)
- but I'm sure something new will come along !!

Well there is a less severe option. There's the heel cream called eulactal. It softens the skin so that it washes off in the shower. Normally if you want to fix your heels you have to apply it twice a day for about two weeks - depending on how bad they are.
Don't buy the gold i don't think its got any more urea in it. But this stuff does work. Although of course more expensive than those methods you referred to.

If it's not cracked then I have no advice - My feet seem to be trouble free as far as warts, bunions, gout, tinea, etc.
