To smooth and reduce the thickened tissue, one should use?

  1. Nail file

  2. Moisturizer

  3. Callus softener

  4. Antifungal cream

The correct answer is: Callus softener

Callus softener is the most effective option in smoothing and reducing thickened tissue because it contains ingredients that break down the dead skin cells and soften the hardened area. Nail file may cause damage to the skin and spread bacterial or fungal infections. Moisturizer can provide temporary relief, but it does not target the thickened tissue. Antifungal cream is specifically for treating fungal infections, not softening thickened tissue.
