I have a scalpel that I've been using to cut a layer of skin off my foot. I have to be careful because even messing up a little means ghetes a gash on my foot, and they're pretty annoying.
Dunno wtf you're talking about OP, but I did some foot DIY, did a home surgery to cure an ingrown toenail on my right big toe once.
>>2986048Is that bare mattress? I forget that the internet is for everyone sometimes.
Yeah, cut out the thick callus skin on the right foot small finger side and cut my nails of course.
>>2986048I use a razor blade to cut calluses off all the time.
>>2986048I'm pretty sure they already make tools for that, you just have to swallow your pride and go to the women's section at Target
>>2986078No target in romania
>>2986091Don't you lie to me. I've been to Romania. I know they have stones.
>>2986048Those blades aren't sharp enough to cut thin layers of skin, you need razor blades.
>>2986048fuck no. I go to a foot specialist.
I just use a pocket knife after a hot shower to loosen up the skinOr just get a tool made to remove dead skin OP
Get a pumis stone. I used to do what you are doing. I know it's not fun.
>>2986048This is the kind of stupid shit I visit /diy/ to see!
>>2986048Why even bother? That isn't enough of a callous to even make a difference. Look at those soft, plump, weak feet...>>2986216>Get a pumis stone.Nah you let the callous get nice an thick then slice it off like a 1/4" thick potato chip. Then chuck it outside so the dog can have a nice rawhide chew.
>>2986048this image reminds me of the time in which i was removing moldlines from my warnigger 40 million models, dropped the scalpel blade on the floor, scooched my chair back and as my foot slid back the heel of the blade caught on the carpet and fully embedded in my foot to the point where i could barely get my fingers on it to pull it out. all in all the experience hurt a lot less than it would seem, which is hardly at all. for that, i am thankful.if you're just removing hard skin, get one of those electronic cheese graters. i wear boots with no socks or insole and build up mad callouses on my big toes and they get my toes looking all pretty and suckable again
>>2986387picrel. electronic cheese grater. anyone suggesting to use a blade is heavily retarded and contributing to your downfall. my callouses get thick enough to where you can rip them off as big as a coin and it still works a treat
>>2986385>/diy/ your dog into craving the taste of youNever change, anon
>>2986048Jesus Christ nigga that's some caveman shit. Just sand your feet with a Dremel
>>2986048I got hand foot and mouth disease from my son a few months back and it did wonders for my skin. Aside from the initial pain, blistering, and peeling, you're left with extremely soft skin after. It even killed my athletes foot completely which I had been fighting for nearly 15 years
I have a pan that I fill with hot water and soak my feet in every few months because I develop horrible calluses. Once they're soft I scrape them with a straight edge knife
>>2986048get an nicholson 8" wood rasp, thank me later.
Pumice works for me. I removed a planters wart with a lighter and an x-acto knife as a teenager because I didn't know what it was and didn’t want my mother to throw a fit. Don’t do that especially not if you can afford to go to the doctor. But it turned out fine for me
>>2986048i used to use the serrated blade on this swiss army thing I had to get the hard skin off my feet.My job is sedentary now though
I use a pair of side cutters for model kits (godhands specifically), and after they dry I place them in a jar.
>>2986505>athletes footuse pic related
put your feet in hot water for 30 minutes and then use an orbital sender with medium grit sandpaper like 320 to 600 it doubles as a foot massage since it vibrates you can use a drill too but the spinning is worst for the skin
>>2986049also had to do this. ended up needing to do epsom salt soaks for weeks to calm the infection down, and make little slices into the cleft of the toe to as much as I could stand, let it heal closed, cut some more[spoiler][/spoiler]
>>2986048I diy my teeth. I had a tooth that kept bleeding when I brushed my teeth and it pissed me off so I took a kitchen knife with a curved blade and started scraping the tooth at the gum line and some white, hard stuff came off. Hasn't bled since then.
Just Wash your feet every day, so your skin doesn't develop any fungus infection. Your skin serves a purpose to protect your feet, while you walking barefoot.
>>2986091Oh hush, I've also been to Romania, you can go to the little strip mall and get some from the cosmetics boutique or your local apotheke (or whatever they're called there again, I was living in Germany and that's the name there)
>>2986064It reminds me of when I went to buddy's house. He worked at a Chinese restaurant and everybody from that restaurant lived in the same rental home. It was a one bedroom home and everyone but the guy who owned the restaurant and his wife slept in the "living room" there was a floor to ceiling stack of twin mattresses in the corner and a stack of blankets and pillows next to it, so those 20+ people just all went to bed at the same time and just covered the floor. Shit was crazy, but the combined rent was like $15 a month per person outside the owner.
I used to have a wart on my foot that I suspect came from the shower in my barracks room at Camp Casey. Every week I shaved the layer of wart that would grow with a razor blade. It kept growing bigger and bigger. Then it started spreading in patches to my toes and further down the sole of my foot so I went and got it frozen. It It was so satisfying and I miss it.
