Corn and Callus Treatment
Callus is an area of thickened skin caused by repeated pressure or friction. A corn is a more concentrated area of hard skin that can become painful. Both may return if the underlying pressure continues.
Many people develop a combination of callus and corns especially in the ball of the feet. Deep callus with pitted or seed corns can be challenging to self-manage but a combination approach between podiatric care and regular self-maintenance can help reduce the production of hard skin and in turn the development of corns.
Do not use sharp instruments on your own feet. Seek professional advice before using acid corn plasters if you have diabetes, poor circulation, reduced sensation, fragile skin or uncertainty about the diagnosis.
We will carefully reduce callus and remove the central hard area of a corn. We can then look for contributing factors such as footwear, toe position or pressure during walking and discuss padding, silicone devices, insoles, moisturising or footwear changes.
Treatment
Book an Initial Consultation or general podiatry appointment for painful corns or callus and advice on reducing recurrence.
