Corns & Calluses

Corns and calluses are areas of thickened skin caused by continuous pressure or friction and may lead to pain, discomfort, or even difficulty walking.

At Podcare, we provide prompt and painless treatment, aiming not only to remove them but also to prevent their recurrence.

What the treatment includes:

Clinical assessment: Examination of the area and identification of the cause (pressure, footwear, gait pattern, foot anatomy).

Painless removal of hyperkeratosis: Using specialised sterile instruments, only the hardened skin is removed, without injury and without pain.

Protection of the area: Application of dressings or soft padding to reduce pressure and help prevent recurrence.

Care & prevention: Guidance on moisturising, choosing appropriate footwear, and avoiding self-treatment at home.

Offloading & foot support: When the problem is caused by gait pattern or specific pressure points, personalised offloading solutions are applied to reduce strain and help prevent recurrence.

Do not let pain or discomfort persist. Book your appointment at Podcare and restore comfort to your walking.
