Wart, Corn & Callus Removers for Feet: Quick Take
These over‑the‑counter treatments—usually patches, gels, or powered files—can be effective at softening and gradually removing thickened skin like corns and calluses. Many contain salicylic or lactic acid to break down hardened layers, and often provide noticeable results in a week or two
That said, experts caution against overly aggressive or abrasive methods, especially on delicate or compromised skin. Misuse can worsen calluses, cause pain, or even lead to injury

When to Consider Surgery for Warts, Corns, or Calluses
If over-the-counter treatments and home remedies fail, surgery may be a viable solution—especially for deep plantar warts, painful corns, or recurrent calluses caused by bone pressure or foot deformities. A podiatrist can remove the lesion, correct the underlying issue (like a bone spur or misalignment), and reduce the chance of recurrence.
While usually quick and performed under local anesthesia, surgical options are typically reserved for severe, painful, or persistent cases that don’t respond to non-invasive care.
