What is Callus?
Callus is an area of hard, thickened skin on the foot that is formed by pressure or friction. If left untreated, it becomes thicker and more painful, and ulcers (abscess) can develop, which can get infected. People with diabetes are at higher risk of serious complications.
Many nail salons in Singapore use shaving blades to shave off calluses, but few people realize that this is actually illegal in almost every state across the United States! The use of blades to shave off calluses can increase the chance of contracting disease as there is no way to know how thick the callus is, which can lead to overshaving, leaving open areas to viruses.
