Dr Scholl's Duragel Callus Removers, 4 Cushions and 4 Medicated Discs

UPDATE #2: Over the past month since they came off, calluses on both feet have returned with a vengeance. Rather than trying these again, I am currently using a 40% Salicylic Acid stick with clear tape (the kind they use to protect tattoos) over it. It seems to be working much quicker in whitening the skin, so hopefully they'll fall off quicker and stay gone. *fingers crossed* UPDATE #1: When you go to file down/smooth out these areas, please either wait a few days or be very careful and do it gently. I kind of went all in right away, and a week later, those areas were still sore and sensitive. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I bought this in hopes of removing the two stubborn calluses on the sides of my feet, under my pinky toes. I cleaned my feet, put the patches on, then applied the clear protective strips. I had no issues the first few hours of wearing them, although it was evening time and I didn't do much walking around the house anyway. During the first shower, the clear protective strips started coming off. I ended up cutting off the parts that came loose, and put some bandaids over. The next day, I got some bigger clear bandaids and layered two over each pad/leftover protective strip. I changed the bandaids after my next shower as well, then kept the pads on until next day's shower (about 52 hours total). My skin was significantly lighter where the callus patches were, but nothing else happened. A couple of days later, I put on two new patches after a shower. By my next shower 24 hours later, parts of the protective strips were already coming off. By the time I was done with the shower, I was going to try to salvage the patches by putting some bandaids over them, but they were completely wet, had shifted and we're kind of gross, so I ended up taking everything off. So, in total, I had two patches on each foot for about 76 hours total. The skin turned a lighter color where the patches were, but the color got darker as the time went by (slowly going back to my regular skin color). It wasn't until day 13 (since the initial application) that both of the calluses started peeling and I was able to mostly pull them off. What came off was really just a little bit thicker skin. I'm going to have to file the areas off to try to even everything out, since they left kind of "holes" where the patches were. All in all, I guess I would buy these again if I needed them, but not before looking into other solutions. I'd definitely stock up on extra large clear bandaids, which are pretty expensive and would essentially double this item's purchase price. I also want to note that I work from home and most of the time I'm sitting down, so it's not like I was really rough on my feet during those days.
