Corns & Calluses
Relief From Painful Pressure Points
Comfortable Feet Start With Proper Care
Corns and calluses are thickened areas of skin caused by repeated pressure or friction. While they’re common, they can become painful and interfere with daily activities if left untreated. Our podiatrists provide safe, effective treatment to relieve discomfort and prevent recurrence.
What Causes Corns & Calluses?
Most corns and calluses develop due to:
- Poorly fitting or narrow shoes
- Abnormal foot structure or gait
- Repetitive pressure on specific areas of the foot
These pressure points can lead to soreness, burning pain, or tenderness when walking or standing.
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the severity and cause of the problem. Options may include:
- Shoe modifications or footwear guidance
- Professional trimming or reduction (never DIY)
- Padding or protective off-loading
- Custom orthotics to correct pressure patterns
Mild cases may not require treatment, but persistent or painful corns and calluses should be evaluated by a podiatrist.
Important Note for Diabetic Patients
Patients with diabetes or circulation issues should never self-treat corns or calluses. Improper care can lead to wounds, infection, and serious complications. Professional care is essential.
