Understanding Foot Callus

Foot callus, also known as hyperkeratosis, is a common condition that occurs due to the excessive formation of hardened and thickened skin on the soles of the feet. It is often caused by repeated friction or pressure on specific areas of the feet, such as the heels or balls. Poorly fitting shoes, prolonged standing, or certain foot deformities can contribute to the development of calluses.

While foot callus can be unsightly and uncomfortable, it is generally not a serious medical concern. However, if left untreated, calluses can lead to pain, difficulty walking, and potential complications such as ulcers or infections.

Treatment Options for Foot Callus

1. Professional Foot Assessment

At The Foot Practice, our experienced podiatrists conduct a thorough assessment of your feet to determine the underlying causes and severity of your foot callus. We take into account your medical history, lifestyle, and footwear choices to provide tailored treatment options.

2. Customized Footwear Recommendations

Proper footwear plays a crucial role in managing foot callus. Our knowledgeable team can recommend suitable footwear that alleviates pressure and friction on the affected areas. We consider factors such as proper arch support, cushioning, and roomy toe boxes to ensure optimal foot comfort and prevent callus formation.

3. Corn and Callus Debridement

If you already have foot callus, our podiatrists can perform safe and painless debridement procedures to remove the thickened skin layers. This procedure aims to reduce pain and discomfort while promoting healthy skin regeneration.

4. Orthotics and Insoles

In some cases, custom orthotics or shoe inserts may be recommended to provide additional support and offload pressure from callused areas. These devices help correct underlying biomechanical issues and enhance overall foot function.

5. Moisturization and Foot Care

Proper moisturization and regular foot care routines are essential in managing foot callus. Our team can provide guidance on effective moisturizers and offer tips on maintaining optimal foot hygiene to prevent further callus development.

6. Education and Preventive Measures

At The Foot Practice, we believe in empowering our patients with the knowledge needed to prevent and manage foot callus effectively. Our podiatrists educate patients on proper foot care techniques, suitable footwear choices, and preventive measures to minimize callus formation in the future.
