Calluses:
Calluses are typically larger than corns and form on the soles of the feet, particularly
under the heels or balls, on the palms, or on the knees. They can be yellowish or pale in color and feel less sensitive to touch than surrounding skin due to their thickness.
Causes of Calluses:
● Repeated Friction: Frequently occurs in areas subjected to ongoing rubbing.
Ill-fitting ● Shoes: Tight shoes or high heels that put excessive pressure on parts of the foot.● Not Wearing Socks: Socks help to reduce friction between the foot and shoe.● Manual Labor: Using tools or instruments that press against the skin can cause calluses on hands.
Our Treatments for Calluses:
Non-Surgical Treatments:
● Proper Footwear: Shoes that fit well and provide adequate cushioning can help reduce pressure.● Orthotic Devices: Custom-made inserts designed to relieve pressure and redistribute weight.● Padding: Over-the-counter pads can protect calluses from further irritation.● Soaking and Moisturizing: Regularly soaking feet in warm, soapy water followed by moisturizing can help soften calluses.● Professional Removal: A podiatrist can safely trim excessive thickened skin using specialized tools.Surgery is rarely required for calluses. Treatment usually involves addressing the source of friction or pressure causing the callus.
