Onion has been used for many years to treat a number of ailments. To use for callouses, simply place an onion in a jar of vinegar and allow it to marinate for several hours. Place the onion on the callous and wrap in a bandage overnight. The callous should be softened by morning for an easy removal.

To moisturize, soothe, and heal use castor oil on your callous. Apply a small amount on the callous and wrap for overnight. Take care that the oil does not seep through the covering. This mild method can be repeated several times per week. 
Epsom salt

Soaking in Epsom salt will make it easier to scrape the dead skin off formed by the callous. Allow feet or hands to soak for 10 minutes in a warm tub of water mixed with a cup of Epsom Salt. While the skin is still warm, gently remove the dead skin with a rough cloth or pumice stone. Repeat this method as needed. 
Aspirin

Salicylic acid aids in the removal of callouses. Aspirin is actually broken down in the body to form this important compound. Create a paste by crushing aspirin and mixing in water and a bit of lemon juice. Apply the paste directly to the skin and wrap and set for 10 minutes. Remove the dead skin and repeat this method every few days.
