[taekwondo]? I do taekwondo and am still, will still continue. on the bottom of my foot where i tend to pivot (balls of foot) i have areas that are hard and smooth and normal color, but also areas that are harder and dryer and white color. i took a little off by hand (i know this sounds gross haha) but im wondering if i should do something else, or just try to leave it there, or what.
i dont know if i want to take it off to the raw skin all the way, because since i train almost every other day they will grow back fast....im only 18 im not supposed to have white skin XD

any help appreciated asap, thanks
PS. im fine with the non-white parts that are skin color, just the white dead skin doesnt look like it should be there to me. (it only hurts however, when i peel it)
Ps...im not sure if i should take it off or not? what do gymnasts do? will taking them off decrease my performance..and/or make it more painful the next time i pivot a lot?
