Expert Corns & Calluses Treatment At Harley Medical Foot and Nail Clinic
Corns and calluses are thickened areas of skin that develop in response to repeated friction, pressure, or irritation, commonly on the feet. Corns are usually smaller, with a hard centre surrounded by inflamed skin, often forming on toes or bony prominences. Calluses are larger, flatter areas, typically found on the soles of the feet, and can cause discomfort or pain when walking or standing.
At Harley Medical Foot and Nail Clinic, our podiatrists provide expert treatment to safely remove corns and calluses and relieve associated pain. Treatment involves gentle debridement and smoothing of the thickened skin using specialised instruments. We also assess the underlying causes, such as footwear, gait issues, or foot deformities, and provide advice on pressure relief, protective padding, and supportive footwear.
For recurring or severe cases, ongoing management may include orthotic devices or targeted foot care strategies to prevent new corns and calluses from forming. With professional care, patients experience improved comfort, reduced pain, and healthier, smoother feet.
