Patient Education
Corns and Calluses
At The Foot & Ankle Center, PC, we believe that informed patients are better equipped to make decisions regarding their health and well being. To help you become more informed, we have created an extensive educational library listed on the left side of the page. This library covers a wide array of foot and ankle topics. At your convenience, take some time to browse through these topics to learn more about the various diagnoses and treatments which may be of interest to you. Or, for a more comprehensive search of our entire Web site, enter your term(s) in the search bar provided.
As always, you can contact our office with any questions or concerns that you may have.
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.
