Corns and Callus

Corns and Calluses Treatment | Expert Podiatry Care

Corns and calluses are thickened areas of skin that develop from constant friction or pressure on the feet. While they may seem harmless, untreated corns and calluses can cause significant pain and may lead to more serious foot conditions.

Common Causes of Corns and Calluses

Several factors can contribute to the formation of corns and calluses, including:

• Abnormal foot structure or atypical walking patterns

• Ill-fitting footwear that rubs against the skin

• Not wearing socks with shoes, boots, or sandals

• Constant pressure or friction on one area of the foot

• Foot deformities, such as bunions or hammertoes

Symptoms and How to Identify Corns and Calluses

You may notice:

• Thick, hardened patches or raised bumps on the skin

• Tenderness, burning, or pain when touched

• Discomfort while walking or wearing shoes

Important: Corns and calluses are often mistaken for plantar warts or other skin conditions. For an accurate diagnosis and safe treatment, consult a licensed podiatrist.
