Corns and callus

Corns and calluses occur as a reaction of the skin to the pressures on it. Sometimes this is pressure from shoes, sometimes there is a structural or functional cause. Some skin types are more prone to callus build up.

Our recommendation:

See you podiatrist to have your corns and calluses painlessly removed. More importantly, we can give you advice or provide treatment to target the cause and aim to prevent further recurrence.

This may include checking your foot size, or providing you with functional orthoses to realign your feet. If your skin is very dry, using a good, foot-specific emollient will help.
