Corns and calluses are protective layers of compacted, dead skin cells. They are caused by repeated friction and pressure from skin rubbing against bony areas or ill-fitting shoes. Corns and calluses can be found on the toes and soles of the feet. They are generally symptoms of underlying foot disorders. The friction and pressure can be relieved by padding or orthotics on the affected areas. Our podiatrist can remove the corns and calluses with sterialised instrument and assess the cause of the pressure lesions and advise you on proper footwear and inserts.
