Re: how long for foot calluses to heal?

It sounds more like a blister than a callus. Calluses don't hurt.
They are thickenings of the skin and can be ground off with a scraper.
It is odd that a blister would last for two weeks. Perhaps you should
go to a podiatrist and have your feet checked out. You could even go
and get a pedicure and see whats up. That might be cheaper than a
podiatrist. Men can do that too.

I stopped playing table tennis for two weeks now and the calluses is showing
no sign of getting better and still feels painful when pressed/touched.

What do I have to do to get better?
