Corns and calluses: A common annoyance
Corns and calluses are areas of thickened skin that develop to
protect that area from irritation. They occur when something
rubs against the foot repeatedly or causes excess pressure
against a part of the foot. Typically, they have a rough, dull
appearance and may be raised or rounded. Corns and
callouses are not contagious but may become painful if they
get too thick. In people with diabetes or decreased circulation,
they can lead to more serious foot problems.
Causes

Orthotic Centre
Corns often occur where a toe rubs against the interior of a
shoe. Excessive pressure at the balls of the feet – common in
women who regularly wear high heels – may cause calluses to
develop on the balls of the feet. People with certain
deformities of the foot, such as hammer toes, are prone to
corns and calluses.

Self-care
Mild corns and calluses may not require treatment. If the corn
or callus isn't bothering you, it can probably be left alone. It's
a good idea though, to investigate possible causes of the corn
or callus. If your footwear is contributing to the development of
a corn or callus, it's time to look for other shoes.

Treatment
If corns or calluses are causing pain and discomfort or
inhibiting your daily life in any way, see a Chiropodist. Also,
people with diabetes, poor circulation, or other serious illnesses
should have any corns and callouses addressed. Corns and
calluses are most effectively reduced with a surgical blade. A
Chiropodist can use the blade to carefully shave away the
thickened, dead skin – right at the office. The procedure is
painless because the skin is already dead. Additional
treatments may be needed if the corn or callus recurs.
Prevention
Wear properly fitted shoes. If you have any deformities of the
toe or foot, talk to your Chiropodist at Omnifoot, to find out
what shoes are best for you.
