Corns & Calluses
Corns and calluses are thickened areas of skin that develop in response to repeated friction and pressure. While they serve as the body's natural protection, they can become painful and require professional care.
Understanding Corns & Calluses
Calluses are larger, flat areas of thickened skin that typically develop on the soles of the feet. Corns are smaller, deeper, and usually form on or between the toes. Both are caused by excessive pressure or friction, often from footwear, foot deformities, or abnormal gait patterns.
When to Seek Care
- Pain or discomfort when walking
- Thick, hardened, or raised bump of skin
- Flaky, dry, or waxy skin on the feet
- Bleeding or signs of infection
- If you have diabetes or poor circulation
Professional Treatment
Our chiropodists safely debride (reduce) corns and calluses using sterile instruments — this is painless and provides immediate relief. We also address the underlying biomechanical causes through padding, custom orthotics, and footwear advice to help prevent recurrence.
