CORNS AND CALLUSES
Footwise Home Podiatry are experts in diagnosing and treating various foot conditions, including corns and calluses. Corns and calluses are thickened areas of skin that develop in response to repeated friction or pressure, often caused by ill-fitting shoes, abnormal foot structure, or gait abnormalities.
Assessment: During an appointment, we will examine your feet to assess the extent of the corns and calluses, as well as identify any underlying causes such as biomechanical issues or improper footwear.
Treatment: Treatment options may include:
Debridement: removal of corns and callus by your Podiatrist. This process is painless and typically results in immediate pain relief.
Padding or Orthotics: Padding or orthotic devices may be recommended to reduce pressure on the affected areas and prevent recurrence.
Footwear Advice: The podiatrist can provide guidance on proper footwear to reduce friction and pressure on your feet, thereby preventing the development of new corns and calluses.
