AB  - A  52-year-old  man  with  diabetes  and  mild  sensory  neuropathy  presented  with  callus  under  “the  ball  of  his  foot”  for  at  least  5  years.  He  recently  noticed  that  the  callus  had  grown  thicker  as  he  gained  weight.  Sharp  debridement  of  the  callus  was  performed,  and  an  offloading  pad  was  placed  (Figure  207-1).  The  patient  walked  out  of  the  office  with  less  pain  and  discomfort.  He  was  encouraged  to  use  a  pumice  stone  gently  after  bathing.  One  important  goal  is  to  avoid  an  ulcer  (Figure  207-2),  which  occurred  in  another  patient  who  did  not  get  care  for  his  callus.
