Corns & Calluses
- Thickened, hardened skin on the foot
- Tender or painful area under pressure
- Hard bump surrounded by irritated skin (corn)
- Discomfort in certain shoes
Corns and Calluses
Corns and calluses form in response to repeated friction or pressure. While the body creates them as protection, they can become painful, particularly over bony prominences or between the toes.
Treatment and Prevention
We carefully debride corns and calluses in the office and, critically, identify the underlying cause: footwear problems, structural abnormalities, or gait issues driving the friction. Treating the symptom without addressing the cause leads to recurrence.
