Corns and Calluses Toronto

Providing detailed and hygienic foot care that puts your comfort first.

Gentle Care for Smooth, Healthier Feet

Roughened, hard skin on the bottom of our feet can be uncomfortable and unsightly. While you might turn to pumice stones for help, sometimes this is not enough to treat them and these corns and calluses can continue to grow and cause pain.

If you’re looking for reliable care that puts you first, reach out to our team at Step Right Foot Clinic Toronto today. With experienced registered chiropodists, we can quickly identify the cause of your concern and offer treatments that fit your needs.

What are Corns and Calluses?

Corns and calluses are similar in that they are both areas of thickened skin that usually develop on your feet. However, calluses form large, flat, and thick patches of skin, while corns are small bumps of concentrated callus.

Furthermore, corns and calluses often have the same root cause: excessive pressure or friction placed on your feet. This may be due to a foot abnormality, such as flat feet, arched feet, or simply ill-fitting shoes.

Corn and Callus Symptoms

Most corns and calluses are identified by their appearance. However, there are other signs you can check for.

Here, we’ve outlined some key symptoms of corns and calluses:

• Thickened skin
• Yellowed skin
• Flaky and dry patches of skin
• Pain when walking on the bumps
• Tenderness
• Inflammation

Corn and Callus Treatments

Successful treatment depends on the cause of the corns and how much we are able to offload the pressure on this area. While removing your corns and calluses may address the issue in the short term, additional care may be needed to prevent severe or recurring problems in the future.

• Debridement and Removal: In some cases, debridement is necessary to remove dead tissue and promote recovery. Your registered chiropodist may conduct this during an appointment.
• Custom Orthotics: With a podiatric foot assessment, your registered chiropodist can determine if custom orthotics are necessary. These can realign your feet, redistribute pressure, and prevent corns and calluses from forming.
• Proper Footwear: Your registered chiropodist may recommend that you wear supportive footwear, which can alleviate some of the excessive friction that causes corns and calluses.
• Moisturizer and Medication: Moisturizer and medication patches may be recommended to help soften the skin and prevent the area from drying out or cracking.
