Abstract
A callus removal apparatus includes a hollow main body having opposite first and second end portions and an elongated configuration for ease of gripping by one hand, a callus scraping device fitted on the main body first end portion, and a callus sanding device fitted on and detachable from the main body second end portion. The callus scraping device has a head and an array of spaced apart annular edges exposed at an exterior face of the head and forming apertures extending through the head. The exposed annular edges are capable of removing pieces of a callus by moving the head across and in contact with the callus. The callus sanding device has a panel and a plurality of sanding particles attached on the panel and exposed at the exterior thereof and thus capable of removing pieces of a callus moving the panel across and in contact with the callus.
