Douglas and all,

I remembered the ingredient to avoid when using lotion.

I use the Neutrogena Norwegian hand creme, after being told by a friend's
wife who is a nurse not to use lotions containing Alpha Hydroxy. There is
something in it that will not soften calluses, but will actually remove
them.

Douglas, any thoughts on this from a pharmacy perspective? It is very common
in many lotions, and I have noticed that since I stopped using any with it,
I've not had a problem with disappearing calluses
