Q: I've had very thick heel calluses for most of my adult
life. I've tried everything from lotions to scraping to
soaking and nothing seems to work. Is there anything that
will help?
JVW: In the 1970s, I read a book about nutrition and general
medicine written by a Yale professor. In that book, he
observed that heavy heel calluses were a sign of long-term
vitamin A deficiency. He recommended vitamin A (not
betacarotene) supplementation for individuals with this
problem.
Since that time, I have recommended the same treatment for
my patients and have found it quite reliable, although in
many cases it takes three to four months to begin to see
results, and complete disappearance of the calluses can take
eight months or more.
For adults, the dose is 75,000 units of vitamin A per day
until the calluses are gone. Then you can decrease your
dose to a "maintenance amount" of 15,000 to 25,000 units per
day. (If the calluses return, the quantity can be increased
once more.) In over 20 years, I've never observed any
adverse effects with this treatment.
