Corns and Calluses
Corns and Callus Care
Your Path to Pain-Free Feet at Chris Garside Podiatry
At Chris Garside Podiatry, we understand that corns and calluses can cause significant discomfort. These thickened areas of skin often develop due to friction or pressure over joints or bony areas of the foot. Corns, typically smaller and deeper, can be particularly painful and may even become infected, leading to redness and inflammation in the surrounding area.
- Safe Removal: We offer professional removal of corns and calluses, ensuring your safety and comfort. Please refrain from attempting self-removal with scissors or sharp instruments, as this can be risky, especially for those with diabetes, and avoid over-the-counter corn plasters containing strong acids.
- Prevention Strategies: We provide guidance on preventing the recurrence of corns and calluses by addressing the root causes of increased pressure.
- Footwear Advice: Our experts recommend appropriate footwear choices to minimise the risk of corns and calluses returning.
- Home Care Tips: We’ll share valuable home care tips to maintain your foot health and prevent future issues.
At Chris Garside Podiatry, your comfort and well-being are our top priorities when it comes to managing and preventing corns and calluses.
