- Calluses don’t go away on their own unless you eliminate the friction source. Even then, they need a little help.
- Pumice stones, manual foot files, soaks, peels - all these common remedies leave you underwhelmed.
- An electric callus remover can make quick work of even the peskiest calluses.
- Prevention is key. Better shoes, regular moisturizing, and periodic maintenance with an electric foot file keep calluses from returning.
What is a Callus?
A callus is a thick, hardened patch of dead skin. It’s common to end up with these on your hands or feet. Anywhere a spot of skin is constantly rubbed or pressed over for a long period of time. The most common culprits are:
- Walking/standing all day
- Tight shoes
- High heels
- Lifting weights
- Playing a sport where you hold something (baseball, hockey, golf)
Your body eventually decides it has to protect itself and begins layering dead skin cells on top of one another. You probably won’t notice it until it’s been going on for a while.
Calluses show up on the hands, the balls of the feet, the sides of the big toes, and the heels. The thicker they get, the harder they are to deal with. They can crack, peel, and make even walking really uncomfortable. So, do calluses go away? Or are you stuck with it for life?
Do Calluses Go Away?
The short answer is calluses CAN go away. But they won’t do it on their own, even if you eliminate the source of the friction that caused them in the first place.
Do Calluses Go Away On Their Own?
Nope. Especially not if the friction or pressure that caused the callus in the first place is still there. Same shoes, same walking pattern, same activities, etc. Your body will keep building up that protective layer. The callus actually gets worse over time.
Now, we have heard of cases where small calluses thin out on their own once you get rid of the root cause. But this is super rare. Heavy buildup from years of neglect calls for a more proactive approach.
Can Calluses Be Removed?
Yes! We have an entire guide on how to get rid of calluses on feet, and we’re going to share some of our favorite strategies below as well. You just need the right tools. What tools are best depends on the callus itself.
You might be able to get away with soaking and a pumice stone for lighter calluses. But thicker, more stubborn buildup necessitates investing in an electric callus remover. It’s worth every penny.
What Can You Do to Get Rid of Calluses?
Calluses aren't scars or damage. They’re simply dead skin sitting on top of healthy skin. It’s as simple as removing that top layer to reveal the smooth skin underneath. Here are some home remedies for calluses that work well for mild cases:
- Soak your feet in water for 10-15 minutes to soften the skin.
- Gently sand down the rough areas using a pumice stone or foot file.
- Consider foot peels that contain urea or other chemical exfoliants.
What if the buildup doesn’t budge, though? Totally normal. In fact, most people don’t see dramatic results from one session alone. You may need to repeat the process multiple times. And even then, the thickest calluses won’t respond.
That’s why it’s worth investing in more sophisticated pedicure tools.

Preventing Calluses From Coming Back
Calluses can return just as easily as they were removed. Keeping calluses gone is honestly more difficult because it means making changes to your lifestyle.
Start by being honest with yourself about the shoes you wear every day. They might not be doing your feet any favors. Are they too tight? Too loose? Bad arch support? Any of these things can cause calluses.
Moisturize your feet every day, especially the heels and balls of your feet. Even the toes. Anywhere you notice friction. Dry skin is more prone to cracking and developing calluses. Our Hydracare Balm is the best choice because it locks in moisture, repairs dry skin/cracked heels, and restores your skin’s natural elasticity and texture.
You can use the Silk 3 Pro every few weeks as a quick maintenance session. This will keep buildup at bay before it becomes a real problem. It feels amazing, too!
