Removing foot callous from a diabetic foot site

If a person has diabetes and reduced sensation in their feet, the appearance of callous on load-bearing surfaces (where the foot touches the ground) is a warning sign of pressure & shear trauma. This can lead to foot ulceration. Removing callous is essential for the health and function of the foot and lower limb.
