Corns and Calluses

Please use our podiatric library to learn more about foot problems and treatments available. If you have questions or need to schedule an appointment, contact us.

"The podiatrists at Martin Foot and Ankle treat all foot and ankle conditions including heel pain, diabetic foot care, bunions, shock wave therapy, and those associated with sports medicine."

Corns and calluses are protective layers of compacted, dead skin cells. They are caused by repeated friction from skin rubbing against bony areas or against an irregularity in a shoe. Corns ordinarily form on the toes and calluses on the soles of the feet. The friction and pressure can burn or otherwise be painful and may be relieved by moleskin or padding on the affected areas.

Never cut corns or calluses with any instrument, and never apply home remedies, except under a podiatrist's instructions.
