Corns / Callus
What is it?
Callus and corns are thickened, hard areas on skin. They develop from increased pressure on the skin. Callus tends to be spread over a larger area on the feet and might cause dull, aching discomfort. Corns are often small sites of hard skin that might cause sharp pain in a small area.
Some things that may lead to corns or callus are:
- Wearing shoes that don’t fit properly
- Abnormal ways of walking
- Foot deformities
How can Our Podiatrist help?
Our Podiatrist can work out why the corn or callus has developed in the first place.
Treatment can include:
- Removing the thickened skin
- Padding to protect the area
- Orthotics in some cases
- Footwear changes
