I wouldn't expect it to penetrate a callous. And most of the nerves in the foot come down over the instep, so try the gel
on the instep on that side also.
I've never used it on the bottoms of my feet. Only the top (instep) and I get complete relief from burning even though I feel it in my toes and bottoms of the feet.
I think the antioxidant, in it, called Ilex also does something to help. (even though it is listed in the inert ingredients). Ilex is Yerba Mate ...the same plant. Yerba Mate is a tea very popular in S. America and is far more potent an antioxidant than green tea.
