Corns and Calluses

Are corns and calluses causing you discomfort or affecting the appearance of your feet? At Pickering Podiatry, our specialised corn and callus treatment services provide relief, restore comfort, and help you put your best foot forward.

What Are Corns and Calluses?

  • Corns are small, thickened areas of skin that form on the toes due to constant pressure or friction. They can be painful, especially when walking or wearing tight shoes.
  • Calluses are larger, thicker patches of skin that form on the soles or heels, often from repetitive pressure or friction. While they may not always cause pain, they can lead to discomfort if not treated.

Our Corn and Callus Treatment Process

At Pickering Podiatry, we tailor each treatment plan to your unique needs, focusing on comfort, relief, and prevention. Our process includes:

  1. Comprehensive Foot Evaluation

    • We will carefully assess your feet, examining the severity and location of the corns and calluses. We will also evaluate your footwear, gait, and any underlying conditions that may be contributing to the formation of these thickened areas.

  2. Gentle and Effective Debridement

    • Using specialised tools, we will gently remove the hard, thickened skin from corns and calluses. This step is performed with precision to reduce discomfort, while ensuring the health of your skin is maintained.

  3. Advanced Treatment Options

    • For persistent corns or calluses, we may recommend additional treatments such as:
      • Padding and Cushioning: To protect the affected area and reduce pressure, ensuring faster healing and long-term relief.
      • Custom Foot Orthotics: Designed to correct abnormal foot mechanics and provide relief from recurring corns and calluses.

  4. Personalised Foot Care Advice

    • We’ll provide you with tips on proper foot hygiene, footwear recommendations, and at-home care instructions to prevent further buildup and enhance the health of your feet.

  5. Ongoing Monitoring and Care

    • For patients with chronic foot issues or underlying health concerns, we offer ongoing monitoring and regular checkups to ensure your feet stay healthy and free of corns and calluses.
