At Gold Standard Foot and Leg Clinic, many patients seek treatment for painful corns and calluses.
A callus is an area of hardened skin that can be painlessly removed by a podiatrist.
In contrast, corns often cause sharp discomfort because they form a conical mass with its point pressing into deeper tissue, sometimes irritating a nerve. Corns can appear anywhere on the foot and are frequently mistaken for verrucae.
Corn plasters may seem like a quick fix, but they contain acids that can burn surrounding healthy skin and potentially lead to infection.
Instead, our podiatrists offer safe, effective treatments for corns, ensuring your comfort and long-term foot health. In addition to removing the corns, we focus on addressing the underlying causes, such as poorly fitting footwear. We may recommend shoes with wider toe boxes, customised insoles, or other preventative methods to help stop corns from returning.
Contact Gold Standard Foot and Leg Clinic today to restore comfort, prevent complications, and enjoy healthier feet.
