Well, if you want to do this in a cheap way that you can just do at home, this is what you do:
Apply lotion to your feet as often as possible. Massage the lotion into the skin, but more around and on the callus. Do this daily if you can. Avoid wearing high heels or tight shoes. Unfortunately, this is a rather slow process, so try to be patient. I can't tell you how long you need to do this because calluses vary depending on the person. If it is small and doesn't hurt, then you should probably do this for a few months. If it is large and painful, then try doing this as long as 6 months(or longer)
If this doesn't help you, even in the slightest, then I suggest that you go to a doctor for prescribed treatment.
