Callouses

Corns and callouses- These occur in areas where we are getting extra pressure on the feet and are a build up of hard skin. They can occur because of how we walk or over pressure points caused by our foot structure, like at the location of bunions or hammer toes.

These are best treated by trimming down of (debridement) the hard skin, padding, custom arch supports, and, sometimes, surgery. It is important not to use medication or razor blades to remove these.

If you have this problem, please call for an appointment at one of my three locations. 708-763-0580.
