about Corns & Calluses
What are Corns & Calluses?
Corns and calluses are thick, hardened layers of skin that develop when your skin tries to protect itself against friction and pressure which is caused by a boney enlargement under the skin..
If you’re healthy, you need treatment for corns and calluses only if they cause discomfort. For most people, simply eliminating the source of friction or pressure makes corns and calluses can the stop hurting. Once we exam your foot and determine the cause treatment can be recommended.
Treatment’s can involve simply trimming the corn of calluses. We can also use injection’s of a low grade steroid to reduce the inflammation and soreness. Custom orthotics in many cases can really help by reducing the pressure on the area. Surgery is rarely necessary.
