I face the same with my rooster we have marbel flooring hence we never found signs of Infection that typical Bumblefoot gives . Still we remove as much as we can recently started to use Boric Acid 1% ointment called Boroline it started to heal my rooster chronic callous which we rapidly Treating since year in the name of Bumblefoot . He never have anything like kernal roots or pus that looks like cheese instead of that when I remove his scab there's alot bleeding and a hole in the footpad
But now with boric acid ointment he started to heal pretty good I will add some pics of his foot the tissue heal so nicely that we don't see any bleeding when we soak and remove the dead skin it's fantastic ..but it's not Bumblefoot god I always stay in worry but finally I know it's not Bumblefoot because indoors there's no chance of getting Bumblefoot in a clean environment so as @Tanya22 also following up boric acid ointment

Unless you live in a completely sterile environment then of course bumblefoot can occur. It is a staph infection. Humans can carry staph in their throats, groin, toes and armpits. Often with no adverse symptoms at all.

I would address the risks like keeping a chicken on a hard floor as the first line of defence. Or you can treat and treat and it will just return.

True. The thing is that we have no other option since we live on flats. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Soft mats?

Spraying Oxine chlorine dioxide on skin at approx 100-250 ppm should clear out almost any infection (bacterial, fungal or viral) it comes in contact with. It's made cleaning bumblefoot out of my hen's foot worry-free.
Chlorine dioxide is also very gentle on cells of the body.
I use it as hand sanitizer at those concentrations and it's great!
