Got rough, thickened skin on my feet. No podiatrist availability soon. Any ways to reduce discomfort?.

Initial softening of skin: 3–7 days. You’ll feel less rough, maybe fewer discomforts.

Noticeable reduction in thickness of callus: 1–3 weeks with consistent care.

Cracks heal, fewer new patches form: 2–4 weeks (longer if very deep/hardened).

Maintenance: after good improvement, you may shift to 1 soak/exfoliate/week + nightly moisturiser + daily pressure reduction.

Be patient — thickened skin often developed over weeks/months, so reversing it takes time.
