Callus & Corns
Do you have Calluses on your feet? Is it painful when you’re standing? Is it caused by Prolonged standing?
Step Relief Podiatry can help, Book now.
Calluses are thick, hard skin that forms on the foot due to continuous increased pressure or friction, usually through poorly fitted shoes. Corns are similar to calluses, however they form as a “cone shape” with a central core.
If the pressure is not relieved, that can cause pain in those areas.
Symptoms:
- Pain in a localised region of the foot/toes when standing or wearing shoes
- Hardened skin on the bottom of the foot
Causes:
- Bony prominence
- Loss of fat pad
- Increased pressure on a certain region of the foot
