What are Corns and Calluses and how we treat them

Callus is a yellowish plaque of hard skin, and a corn is an inverted cone of similarly hard skin that is pushed into the skin. Both conditions are associated with excess mechanical stress (foot-ground, foot-shoe, toe-toe), which results in damage of the skin. This may be due to abnormal foot function, arthritis or poor-fitting shoes. Those conditions can be extremely painful and effect the other part of the body or  lifestyle. In those at risk, the presence of corns and callus can predispose to ulceration.

At Foot Nurse Surrey, we offer removal of corns and callus, followed by treatment aimed at reducing pain and restoring normal skin function . We will give you personalised advice how to prevent those problems from reoccurring.
