Calluses & Corns
Comprehensive Care for Calluses & Corns
Relief from Painful Pressure and Friction on Your Feet
Calluses and corns are common sources of discomfort that develop when the skin thickens in response to repeated friction or pressure. While they may appear to be simple skin problems, they often indicate an underlying structural issue in the bones of the foot. Calluses typically form on weight-bearing areas such as the ball or heel of the foot, while corns develop on or between the toes. Both can cause soreness, tenderness, or sharp pain that makes walking difficult.
At Next Step Foot & Ankle Centers, our podiatrists provide expert evaluation and treatment to relieve pain, restore comfort, and correct the underlying cause of callus and corn formation.
Treatment Options May Include:
- Gentle trimming or debridement of thickened skin
- Custom orthotics to redistribute pressure and correct bone alignment
- Padding or moleskin to protect sensitive areas
- Anti-inflammatory medication or cortisone injections to reduce swelling
- Surgical correction (osteotomy) for recurring plantar calluses caused by structural deformities
We also provide guidance on preventing future calluses and corns, including proper shoe selection, sock recommendations, and foot care routines to keep your skin soft and healthy.
Our goal is to eliminate discomfort and address the root cause—so you can walk comfortably, stay active, and protect your foot health for the long term.
