I am inquiring for a friend that has such
thick callous' on his hands that even
using a keyboard is difficult. He has had
this since birth and he is at his wits end
because it is effecting his chances of
getting jobs. He has tried everything.
He even soaked his hands in lotion and
when to bed in gloves only to find that
the calluses had turned green and nasty by
morning. I have seen him file them off on
monday and there would be a 1/16th of an
inch of callous on his palms on friday.
He is in constant pain from the callus's
on his feet but he walks miles each day
just to find a job. He has had them
removed and like the ones on his hands,
they grow right back.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

The thickening and hardening of the skin
of palms and soles can be controlled with
usage of homoeopathic medicine. Remedies
like thuja, sulph, medorrhinum, antim
crud, ranunculus bulb and hypericum help
in slowing the progression of the skin
into thickened areas.

Thanks, there is an herbal store here in
kc that might carry those items. I may
even front him the money for them.
