Vitamin A and Calluses

Vitamin A affects skin and vision, among other things, and callusing is a skin problem so it makes sense that a deficiency could be involved.  For more, here is an article by a physician that explains it and even gives recommendations on therapy doses.

To be safe, if you believe this might be of benefit to you, run out a paper copy of the article and take it to your physician before embarking on any doses larger than the recommended daily allowances.
