Calluses are formed by the long-term compression and friction of the skin's stratum corneum that has lost its ability to grow. Its thickness is generally around 0.5 mm. Calluses are generally waxy yellow, flat or slightly raised localized keratinized plaques that are hard and slightly transparent, with unclear boundaries, thicker in the center and thinner at the edges. It often occurs on the palms and soles and often occurs symmetrically. Occupation-related cases may be seen in pressure areas. Generally no symptoms. In severe cases, there may be tenderness.

It is not recommended to remove calluses by cutting with a knife, tearing with hands or grinding with a grindstone, because these methods can remove calluses on the surface, but in fact these physical stimulation methods will stimulate the calluses to grow faster, and they will grow thicker and thicker. If you have this beginning, you will have to deal with calluses frequently in the future.
