What is the ideal condition of the skin when using an electric tool or drill to remove callus?

The ideal condition of the skin when using an electric tool or drill to remove callus is clean and dry. This condition is important because a clean surface helps to minimize the risk of infection and allows the tool to work effectively. If the skin is clean, there are fewer impurities and bacteria present, reducing the chance of introducing pathogens into the skin during the procedure.

A dry surface allows the tool to make better contact with the callused areas. Moist or oily skin can interfere with the effective removal of callus by making it more slippery, potentially causing the tool to skid rather than properly abrade or file down the callus. Additionally, using an electric tool on rough and dry skin may lead to uneven results and increases the risk of injury to the surrounding healthy skin. Therefore, maintaining a clean and dry condition is crucial for safety and efficacy during the callus removal process.
