Corns and Calluses

Corns and calluses are thick, hard layers of skin that form when your feet face constant pressure or friction—often from tight shoes, high heels, or foot deformities. While they may seem harmless, in people with diabetes they can increase the risk of wounds and infections.

Signs to watch for:

• Rough, hardened skin on toes, heels, or soles.

• Pain or tenderness when walking.

• Visible bumps or thick patches.

What to do:

• Wear properly fitting footwear.

• Keep feet moisturized (avoid between toes).

• Never cut or shave corns at home.

• Seek podiatry care for safe removal and advice.

At Podiatree Clinic, we provide gentle and effective treatment to remove corns and calluses, relieve pain, and protect your feet from complications.
