Professional Care for Corns and Calluses

Corns and calluses are common foot conditions caused by repeated friction or pressure, often from footwear, foot structure, or changes in how you walk. While they may seem similar, they develop in different areas of the foot and can affect comfort in different ways.

Corns are small, concentrated areas of hardened skin that usually form on the tops or sides of the toes or between toes. They often have a hard center surrounded by irritated skin and can be quite painful, creating a sharp or burning sensation with each step.

Calluses, on the other hand, develop on weight-bearing areas such as the balls of the feet or the soles. They tend to be larger and more spread out than corns, with thickened skin across the surface. Calluses are typically less painful but can become uncomfortable, cracked, or unsightly if left untreated.

Our podiatrists provide thorough evaluations to identify the location and underlying cause of your corns or calluses, whether related to bunions, hammertoes, improper footwear, or biomechanical imbalances. Treatment may include professional removal using sterile techniques, protective padding to reduce pressure, custom orthotics to improve foot alignment, and footwear recommendations to help prevent recurrence.

For patients with diabetes or compromised circulation, prompt treatment is especially important, as corns and calluses can increase the risk of infection and skin breakdown.
