Callus debridement and reformation

Is it possible that callus formation can be triggered by removal of the callus itself?
Could the filing of a callus trigger hyperkeratosis or is the stress of the filing too small to start these pathways off?

The quick answer to your question is "NO." Calluses on the sole of the foot are of two general :


1, The Broad Diffuse Callus, which is generally non-painful or minimally painful or perhaps is limited in symptoms to some burning sensations. These are the result of non-pinpoint friction.

2. The Well-Delineated, often Nucleated Callus, which is generally quite painful and found beneath the heads of metatarsals which are bearing more than their share of weight due either to their length pattern, or their degree of fixed plantar-flexion or a spur or enlargement of the plantar of the metatarsal head or a variety of other pathomechanics which causes inordinate weight-bearing in a limited area.

Ostensibly, the callus formation is the body's attempt to protectively pad the area with a buildup of dead, keratotic tissue, and this might be effective but for the fact that one must then walk on these buildups of keratosis, which increases, rather than decreases the pressure and subsequently the discomfort.

I know of no reason why the judicious and proper mechanical reduction of a callus should cause a more rapid or severe callus to be subsequently generated.
